The Norwich Fringe
The landscape that surrounds Norwich, also known as
the Norwich Fringe, is very diverse consisting of
woodlands, river valleys, meadows, farm land,
housing and industry.
The fringe is considered to be a very sensitive area, and
therefore it is necessary to promote, protect and enhance many of the sites.
Since the project was established in 1990 dramatic changes have occurred. Whitlingham Country Park
and the Southern by-pass are good examples.
The project has been involved in the development and promotion of many sites,
Cary's Meadow, Charter Wood, Dunston Common, Earlham Millennium Green, Horsford Pits,
and the Yare Valley Walk to name but a few.

The Project
The Norwich Fringe Project responds to issues which affect the area's wildlife, landscape
and recreational value, the project area extending to a four mile radius from the center of Norwich
to the fringe.
The Project works with local communities, parish councils, schools, societies and youth groups,
protecting and enhancing wildlife areas, encouraging visitors and providing and improving information about the area.
Project Partners
The Project's funding partners are Norwich City Council,
Norfolk County Council, South Norfolk and Broadland District Councils and the
Broads Authority.
The Project Officer; assisted by the Countryside Warden, is
|
guided by a Joint Advisory Panel which includes representatives
of the funding partners, land managers, water, conservation and agriculture bodies.

A range of leaflets and other publications including the
