Welcome to the Norwich Fringe Countryside Management Project Website
What is the Norwich Fringe Project?
Established in 1990, we are a local authority, partnership funded, countryside management project:
covering a 4-mile radius around Norwich. Our overall aim is to work with local communities to look
after and manage the countryside on their doorstep
Norwich’s countryside is extremely diverse and the Project works to promote, protect
and enhance this unique landscape of: woodlands, river valleys, traditional grazing marshes, woodlands and heathland.
|
Funding Partners:
The Project funding partners are: Norwich City Council, Broadland Council, South Norfolk Council and The Broads Authority.
Supporting Partners:
Norfolk County Council
Who are we and what do we do?
The Project team consists of a full-time Project Officer, Matthew Davies and a part-time Project Assistant,
Paul Hughes. Not forgetting the Projects volunteers who play an important role in supporting and assisting Matthew
and Paula with the variety of Project work.
With such a wide range of sites to manage our work load is extremely diverse; from organising the grazing cattle,
|
which can be found on many of the grassland and marshland sites, planting trees with schools and scout groups,
cutting back overgrown willow and blackthorn trees, managing hazel coppices, to building board walks and installing benches.
No day is normally the same.
Want to get involved?
Well there’s always something to do, whether its out on one of the marshes helping to repair a fence or
coppicing the hazel in one of our woodlands. If you prefer an indoor environment then we always need help with
promoting and marketing the Project, or mix the two!
