The services are performed exclusively using mechanical equipment (with a shredding or sawing method) and carried out in the autumn/winter of each year (period running from 15 September to 15 March, but preferably during the winter months from December to February). This operation is part of an environmental programme defined by the Communauté de Communes des Hauts de Flandre in partnership with the Conseil Départemental du Nord. This programme of general interest points out that hedges have multiple environmental functions. They help combat soil erosion and flooding; promote the protection and quality of water; provide shelter and a habitat for fauna and flora; and enhance the landscape quality of rural areas.... The choice of equipment used to perform the services is left to the contractor. It must be selected according to the hedge and the trimming frequency: trimming must respect the integrity of the hedge and must not cause damage to the main trunk or splintered branches.
