Hedgerow management best practices for climate and biodiversity

Hedgerows enhance farm resilience by reducing erosion, moderating microclimates, supporting biodiversity, and sequestering carbon at 0.66–3.3 t CO₂/ha/year. This guide supports farmers and land managers in assessing field boundaries, implementing best practices, and avoiding harmful interventions. Part of the Organic Climate Network and Farm Knowledge initiatives, it offers practical steps for integrating hedgerows into agricultural systems for ecological and climate benefits.
