Dead hedge

A dead hedge used as a roadside boundary

A dead hedge is a barrier constructed from cut branches, saplings, and foliage. The material can be gathered from activities such as pruning or clearing, and in traditional forms of woodland management,[1] such as coppicing. Its ecological succession can be a beetle bank or hedge.
