NATURE RESERVES
Hedgerows As a mainly agricultural parish, Wenvoe has many miles of hedgerow and a fair proportion of these are close to the extensive Rights of Way network and therefore accessible to walkers. Also the Vale of Glamorgan Council has a number of dedicated Highway Verge Conservation Zones (HVCZ), seven of which are monitored by the group. Cutting back of these botanically species-rich hedgerows takes place later than usual to allow seeds to set. Two zones are located within the parish boundary: 1. alongside the road from the old railway station and through to Wrinstone Farm. 2. following the road (now closed to traffic) from Greave Farm, north towards the Alps depot road. |
