Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Recognising the damage this decline caused to farmland wildlife, many governments now pay farmers to replant and maintain hedgerows.
- Despite this ecological value, thousands of miles of hedgerow were removed in the postwar decades to create larger, machine-friendly fields.
- Over time, ecologists noticed that the same hedgerows served as corridors along which birds, insects, and small mammals could travel safely between woodlands.
- Beyond marking land, these barriers also sheltered livestock from wind and prevented soil from blowing off ploughed fields.
- Hedgerows are dense lines of shrubs and small trees that farmers once planted to mark the boundaries of their fields.
