Abstract

For the purpose of more accurate and well-founded restoration and maintenance of historical hedges and hedgebanks in The Netherlands more research is needed on their regional typology and maintenance systems. The paper describes a regional inventory made in the area south of Nijmegen in which more than three hundred relics of hedges and hedgebanks were closely examined and contextualized. The project showed that the area traditionally did not show any traces of hedgelaying. However, there were abundant relics of various traditional hedge wreathing systems. This new knowledge has important implications for future hedge management in the area and contradicts recent tendencies to copy English hedgelaying techniques in Dutch regions where this technique has never been applied in the past.
