Hedgerows play a important role in the lives of lots of different British wildlife. A good hedgerow can provide food, shelter and a way to travel safely. Over twenty species of butterfly use hedgerows as a place to breed and one of Britain's rarest mammals, the dormouse, depends on hedgerows for food and shelter throughout the seasons.
