Prince Charles speaks of importance of UK hedgerows

The Prince of Wales spoke of the importance of Britain's hedgerows during a rural crafts competition.

"I don't need to tell you of the destruction that has been wrought over our hedgerows over the last 60 years," said the prince.The prince is the patron of the society and spoke of his "horror" at watching miles of hedgerows being dug up when he was younger.Prince Charles said he hoped to see 'many more miles' of hedgerows planted in the UK

"Hedges which had stood for hundreds of years - even thousands - disappeared in an instant and now our hedgerows are under a new threat of disease, with ash dieback threatening to destroy the vast majority," he said.Image caption,Hedges are an important part of the ecosystem, offering homes to native birds and animals. More than half of the UK's hedgerows have been lost since the end of World War Two.

Would rather he had had a chat with his child loving younger brother a few years ago.

Omg this man needs to get a life gabbles on about absolute crap I hope he bows out and gives William the chance

I think there are more important things at the moment. 1. Brother Andrew’s lies 2. Your governments lies 3. Your families lies in general

Absolutely! Hedge vodka 😄

Cabbage speaks about hedgerows.

Important so that his personal aircraft can use them for direction in the event of instrument failure ?

What a joker, look at Poundbury dorchester hedgerows would be preferable to HIS monstrosity toy town build.

“Is there a “bustle in your hedgerow”?. Sorry, it’s the only reference we yanks have for hedgerows. 🎸

Where else would dog walkers throw their poo bags it it weren’t for hedges?

This is so right ! In France they were cut off in the last 30 years, it’s both ugly and non ecological !

How could anyone in Scotland want to be part of a UK when this is your Home Secretary?! UK is a third world country, & it's time Scotland left BBCScotlandNews STVNews itvnews Channel4News LBCNews MetroScotland Sunday_Mail sunday_post

Very true Charles, but until you stop jetting around the world whilst preaching about climate change you will find it hard to get people to take you seriously.

Shit I'm stoned I thought it said importance of uk homegrow,s lol
