This boundary is a "dead hedge"created from the brushwood resulting from felling, pollarding & coppicing trees that threatened to turn the grassland into secondary woodland. This technique saves unnecessary burning and creates habitat for small mammals and invertebrates. The work was carried out by the Essex Wildlife Trust's Image during their regular Image Image Nature Reserve is owned by Havering Council but is maintained by the Trust http://www.essexwt.org.uk/
