Autumn Photo Competition 2025

In partnership with the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association

Hedgerows Ireland is a national body dedicated to all aspects of hedgerow welfare. Following last year's successful competition which was kindly sponsored by the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association we are relaunching the contest this year to encourage interest and pride in this important feature of our natural and cultural heritage. We are delighted that the ICMSA are sponsoring the generous prizes once more.
