Cultural landscapes require maintenance. The example of hedging in South Island, New Zealand, is used to explore the factors which generate perennial crises of maintenance, and ultimately affect the sustainability of a productive rural landscape. This logic of maintenance is applicable to other forms of landscape investment in drains, buildings, sown pastures and soils.
