ofsuch areas in future life.| ||||||Volunteers
have continued to keep the| ||||||area maintained
for use throughout
the| ||||||year even with the restrictions
in place.| ||||||2.Canoe Platform Replacement| ||||||Funded
by aSection 106Green Spaces| ||||||Fund applied for by Scole Parish Council.| ||||||The money was secured to install a| ||||||replacement
canoe platform
which was| ||||||started
in the new year, February 2022,| ||||||and completed
by the middle of INarch| ||||||2022.This now provides asafer access| ||||||for canoeists to enjoy the river and the| ||||||surrounding
countryside,
flora, and fauna| ||||||whilst rowing along the river. This social| ||||||type ofexercise helps improve both| ## |physical and mental health.|| |---|---| |3.Second Memorial Bench (Pocket Park|| |riverside)|| |The memorial
bench, funded
by a local|| |family, has now been instalied alongside|| |the wild flower meadow and facing the|| |river. This provides awonderful
view of|| |the river and wild flower meadow for|| |contemplation
and reflection, by|| |providing
somewhere
for the public tosit|| |and rest a while, and as a result improve|| |their mental well-being.|| |4.River Fly Surveys and Oxygen Level|| |Surveys|| |We have undertaken
surveys for two|| |years now, on a monthly
basis, ofriver fly|| |populations
in our stretch ofthe River|| |Waveney. The results are submitted
toa|| |countrywide
database and used to|| |monitor river health throughout
the|| |country
in conjunction
with the|| |Environment
Agency.|| |In addition to the River Fly Surveys our|| |continued
Oxygen Level Surveys are|| |ongoing
in collaboration
with the EA.We|| |carry out a reading once aweek at three|| |points along our stretch ofthe River|| |Waveney, this has already proved its|| |worth
in helping to identify 2or3possible|| |pollution
incidents on the river in the time|| |the monitoring
has been in place.|| |This makes sure that any river pollution|is| |caught at an early stage and dealt with|| |immediately
in order to maintain
a healthy|| |biodiversity
within the river and|| |surrounding
areas. Indirectly the health|of| |the river and its countryside
provides a|| |wonderful
place for people to walk and|| |view the flora and fauna that surrounds|| |them.|| |5.Public Areas and Nature Pathways|| |Another continuous
task ofcoordination|Another continuous
task ofcoordination| |---|---| |ofvolunteers
for clearing and maintaining|| |the public areas and pathways
around|| |and through
the village, providing
circular|| |and cross routes throughout
the area.|| |This is achieved
by means of; weekly|| |litter picking, grass cutting, hedge|| |management,
pathways
maintenance,|etc.| |Again afair amount oftree clearance was|| |carried out throughout
the year due to|| |storm damage and ongoing safety|| |maintenance.
The result ofthis is|| |promoting
a healthy
lifestyle by means|of| |unhindered
walking
and providing
a clean|| |and safe place to come and relax and|| |enjoy the countryside.|| |New fruit trees, donated tothe SNTT by|| |Norfolk County Council and public|| |donations,
were planted
in the Pocket|| |Park to replace deadldamaged
trees.|| |These will help to provide an insect|| |friendly environment
to further support|| |the wild flower meadow and biodiversity|| |in the park.|| |6.Car Park Fencing Improvements|| |(Pocket Park Suffolk Car Park)|| |Existing wooden fencing had degraded|| |over the years and was in need ofan|| |update. This was achieved
by use of|| |offcuts ofthe recycled plastic posts used|| |in the construction
ofother projects.|| |These also provide a deterrent for|| |vandalism
at the Pocket Park grounds|by| |boy racers in their cars.|| |7.Pollution
Events (Pocket Park Norfolk|| |Car Park)|| |Anumber ofevents arose in the village|| |which were managed
on behalf ofthe|| |village by the SNTT volunteers,
liaising|| |and supporting
the service supplier,|| |Anglian
Water, and also the Environment|| |Agency to ensure the pollution
did not|| |affect the river and surrounding
areas.|| |The early intervention
ofthe SNTT|| |reduced the chance ofan even more|| ## |You may choose to include|You may choose to include|You may choose to include|further statements|where relevant about:|| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Achievements||against|Para 1.41|N/A|| |objectives set|||||| |Performance||offundraising|Para 141|Wlain Fundraising|| |activities against objectives|||||| |set||||The trustees apply for funds via grants|| |||||from a number ofexternal companies|that| |||||support ecology and local community|| |||||improvement
