We offer a five or seven-day practical training course in hedgelaying including an optional assessment leading to a National Hedgelaying Society Lantra Accreditation at Bronze, Silver or Gold level.
We are also offering a 2 day refresher course for those who wish to practise further before undertaking the Hedgelaying Laying Skills Training Course.
