A 'hedgerow management' scale has been devised by an organisation called Hedgelink UK [21] [22] ranging from 1 to 10. '1' describes the action to take for a heavily over trimmed hedge, '5' is a healthy dense hedgerow more than 2 metres in height, and '10' is a hedge that has not been managed at all and has become a line of trees.

By the end of the war there were 29 Bantam Battalions of about 1,000 men each.
