Course the traditional laid hedgerows usually had trees spaced along them as well, sometimes quite closely. The best country lanes are those with traditional hedges either side, where the trees have met to create a green shaded tunnel. They brought in some regulations around hedgerows not too long ago, but it seemed like too little, far too late. Limiting field size seems overdue too given how much they've changed, even over my lifetime.

Coming from the north of England, I'm often struck when I get to Scotland or down south just how extra sparse trees seem across the north.

I would dearly love to see progress to reforest the UK.
