[BCFSN] Farm for wildlife with hedgerows

[Pamela Zevit Adamah Consultants]

"Hedgerows provide farms with environmental, social, and economic values. For example, hedgerows
support wildlife with food, such as nectar, pollen, foliage, fruits, as well as undisturbed soils
and stems for shelter. The same hedgerows can intercept, reduce, and screen airborne pollution, such
as chemicals, dusts, and noises, while sequestering carbon in biomass and soils. These living fences
simultaneously beautify farms and offer cultural and ornamental resources, including wicker for
basket weaving and poles for plant supports. What's more, hedgerows provide humans with foods,
medicines, and other products, such as fruits, nuts, herbs, and firewood. Harvests of hedgerow
fruits for jams, jellies, syrups, tinctures, and teas can be abundant, nutritious, and profitable."
