Dead hedge

A dead hedge is a barrier constructed from cut branches, saplings, and foliage.

The material can be gathered from activities such as pruning or clearing, and in traditional forms of woodland management,[1] such as coppicing.

They offer habitats for insects such as beetles, and shelter and feeding opportunities for small mammals[1] and birds.

[3] They can also play a role in biological pest control (for example, in organic farming and sustainable agriculture).
