My Department maintains linear hedgerow data in relation to a subset of farmers who have Ecological Focus Area obligations under the Greening Scheme. However, it does not currently maintain a national dataset on the area of hedgerows per county.

The information relating to scrub is currently being collated and will be forwarded directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
