This notice is at the start of the nature trail at Boug's Meadow. It has the following wording: 1. Dead Hedges The waste material from thinning tree cover and maintaining hedgerow goes into dead hedges. These provide additional protective habitat for small mammals and birds as well as encouraging insects. Here it helps guard visitors from stepping in the rabbit holes in the warren. Please take care! Old tree stumps and fallen branches are used to provide log pile habitat for fungi, beetles and other insects. An example is in the undergrowth behind you.
