The 2023 Isle of Wight Hedgelaying Competition returned after a two-year hiatus, with a new winner in the Open class and a successful event at Little Duxmore Farm
The event, postponed from last year, is to be delivered as a series of free online talks, featuring some of the Island's best-known environmental speakers joined by national experts.
The naming of new discovery is a particularly appropriate way to celebrate Dr Pope's substantial contribution to Isle of Wight wildlife, says president of the Isle of Wight Natural History and Archaeological Society
If you know a landowner with a tall, even hawthorn hedge of 200m or longer that is not on a roadside, with a dry field for parking next to it, get in touch for 2020.
