NCA Hedgerow Mapping

The UK Government has set an England based target to "create or restore 30,000 miles (48,280km) of hedgerows by 2037, and 45,000 miles (72,420km) of hedgerows by 2050". How to meet this target is still unclear. This tool compliments the ORC hedgerow research report for CPRE which explores how this target could be met and which areas of England could be prioritised for hedgerow planting and restoration.

A variety of maps can be chosen using the right-hand side panel, while specific figures can be brought up by clicking on an individual National Character Area (NCA). In addition NCAs can be searched for by name by clicking on the search icon to the left. For a full list of data sources please see the associated report.
