The Beauty of Hedgerows

And of course, birds love hedges and that's good - because there's about 73, 000 miles of them in Northern Ireland. And if you don't look after hedgerows, they get all gappy and bare and then that's no use for all the insects and mammals that live in them. So - at the Ecos Nature Park in Ballymena, they're very keen to teach people about hedges.
