Did you know?
In Germany it is forbidden - by law - to cut hedges between March 1 and September 30.
Here in Switzerland, the rules are slightly different...
Nevertheless:
Even if the mild weather now encourages gardening work...
Between March and June, you should refrain from pruning of any kind or check your hedges for possible breeding or nesting sites beforehand.
This is the breeding season for many birds.
It is strictly forbidden in Switzerland to destroy, damage or even remove breeding sites or nests from their original location!
