by Christopher Hart (Author)

Longlisted for the James Cropper Wainwright Prize 2024 for Nature Writing

"Delightful . . . Hedgelands is a merry exposition on the history and biology of these unique ecosystems, and a very good argument as to why we should re-engage with the hedge."--The Wall Street Journal

"Hart's passion for the potential that resides here is intoxicating. Occasionally an environmental solution comes along that is so breathtakingly simple you can't believe that not everyone is already doing it."--Sunday Times

"[A] joyously readable book-- it riffs along like breeze in the hedgerow."--John Lewis-Stempel in Country Life

On this joyous journey around the wild edges of Britain, celebrated author Christopher Hart takes us through the life, ecology and history of the humble countryside hedge and how it is inextricably woven into our language, landscape and culture.

Hedges - or hedgerows - have long been an integral part of the British landscape. An ancient, human-made boundary, hedgerows have become a critically important haven for wildlife and are now being recognised as one of the greatest 'edge' habitats on Earth.
Britain boasts 400,000 kilometres of hedgerows, but has lost 50 per cent of them since the Second World War and their slow deterioration today is becoming a huge threat to the ecosystem.

In Hedgelands, Christopher Hart shares the history of the hedge, highlighting the hawthorn and hazel of ancient hedgerows, and reveals its abundance of wildlife, from the elusive dunnock to the iconic nightingale, the industrious hedgehog to the miniscule harvest mouse.
He demonstrates how this true environmental hero and powerful climate ally can help rebuild species-rich, resilient havens for birds, mammals and insects. Hedges play a vital role in mature woodland, grassland and even wetland, all of which can offer us much-needed ecological diversity and carbon sequestration.

Through rewilding a patch of land in southwest England, Christopher shows us how easy, joyful and rewarding it is to restore even the smallest stretch of hedge. Whether you live in the country or the city, Hedgelands shares how simple actions can make a huge difference to the future of our precious hedges - and environment.

"What's good for us is good for nature, and what's good for nature is good for us. And nowhere is this more true than in the bustling, flourishing, flowering, fruiting and altogether glorious native British hedge."--Christopher Hart
