As the end of our first project approaches on 31st March 2025, we are putting on a special event for a limited number of attendees.

CREST’s intermediate graduates and those looking to use Cornish hedging skills in a professional capacity will have priority booking on this event, but we will have some spaces for people who have other reasons to be interested in Cornish hedges.

The event entails a series of short talks covering many of the topics that a Cornish Hedge enthusiast needs to know, and information that will be useful or enriching when working with hedges or teaching the craft to others.

The programme entails four short-ish talks where questions are welcomed and the breaks are a chance to meet and network with other hedgers, trainers and interested parties in Cornish hedging.
