So far we’ve invested in around 1000m of new native hedgerows planted. And it’s not just new hedges that are important, as a direct result of this campaign we’ve prevented the neglect, damage and removal of existing hedges.
The new and restored hedgerows are thriving, with cascading effects on wildlife, carbon and water.
We fund new hedges and tree planting projects

“Our reasoning for choosing this approach is as a little campaign against global consumerism and our desire to encourage giving something back to nature, to preserve the environment and the planet’s ecosystem. As we are based in Cumbria and the Lake District Landscape inspires many of our fragrances it seemed an appropriate initiative to support.” Nigel Brooks, Director at Bath House
Bath House donated £1750 to this campaign

Hedges act as wildlife corridors between different habitats. Loss of hedges means loss of mammals, birds, and insect species.

Fix the Fells has repaired over 200 paths since it began in 2001 and these cover more than 400 km. We maintain and monitor nearly 200 more paths, totalling nearly 400 km, and we are surveying another 325 paths.
