Hedgerow Establishment on Low Earthen Mound

Hedgerows are very effective in reducing the risk of land-spread material moving over sloped ground during heavy weather or cloud bursts, if planted across the slope in an overland flow pathway.
The aim of this measure is to construct a low earthen mound and plant a hedge on or beside the mound to slow water flow, to increase water interception and storage at the base of the hedge. These hedges are not limited to sloped ground but wherever they are planted they must have a water quality benefit.

250 metres of hedging will be funded at between €21.17 and €24.37 per metre depending on whether a low earthen mound is being utilised.
