Dry Hedges, Quickset Hedges and Artificial Brambles
Types of bocages (groves) are usually described in terms of land divisions and hedge networks. Much
less attention is paid to the makeup of the hedges and even less to their structure. The characteristics of
various bocages have been strongly marked by changes in the techniques for setting, using and keeping
up hedges made up of thickets of interplanted bushes and trees. These practices, whether maintained,
adapted or abandoned, reflect the functions attributed to hedges, their place within what were — to
speak anachronically — agroforestry systems. Hedge's characteristics can be used to examine whether
those who own or work the land adhere to traditional ideas or, on the contrary, whether they have broken
with former practices. As a means of expression, hedges reveal the social value of agrarian landscapes. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
