The National Hedgelaying Society (NHLS) is the only British charity[1] devoted to the art of hedgelaying and the restoration and creation of hedgerows.[2][3]
NHLS was formed on 11 November 1978 by Valerie Greaves, Clive Matthew and Fred Whitefoot.[4]
The society runs hedgelaying competitions and exhibitions in the UK,[5] and an optional accreditation scheme for hedgelayers.[6] Charles III is a patron of the organization,[7] and in December 2021 he presented awards on behalf of the society at Highgrove estate.[8]
