Welcome to the Hedge Laying Association of Irelands Website.

LATEST: Site last updated 26 April 2012.


It is with sincere regret that the HLAI announce that Neil Foulkes, founder of the HLAI and former Chairman and Secretary of the Association has stepped down as Secretary and Director of the HLAI for personal reasons. The remaining directors and all the membership express their gratitude to Neil for his wonderful work over the years without which the organisation and all that it has achieved simply would not exist.


For training course details see Latest News & Events section, hope to announce more courses shortly.
