Traditional Hedgelaying courses
This link will take you through to the national hedgelaying society's site from here you can find your local group.  It is hard work but thoroughly rewarding to become a part of the restoration of a  hedge to its original state and then go back and see it's progress and the wildlife that has moved back into this important habitat.
