We have an ambitious target for 2030, which is not that far away. There is huge value and potential in hedgerows but we are trying to get to net zero by 2050, so there is a 30-year challenge. It seems that however difficult the 2030 challenge might be with growing new hedgerows, sequestration and so on, we should be taking the 30-year potential very seriously.
