surveys for a| ||year now, on a monthl'y

with the| ||Environment

with the EA| ||who kindly donated the testing equipment| |,|to achieve this. We carry out a reading| ||once a week atthree points along our| ||stretch ofthe RiverWaveney,

the area. This is| ||achieved by means of;weekly litter| ||picking, grass cutting, hedge| ||management,
pathways
maintenance,|etc.| |---|---|---| ||Again a fair amount oftree clearance was|| ||carried out throughout
the year due to|| ||storm and flood damage and ongoing|| ||safety maintenance.
As a result, this|| ||promotes a healthy
