Brundall Parish Council’s Biodiversity Working Group (BWG) held a successful open day on the 27th January at the Memorial Hall. A presentation was given on the importance of biodiversity and on the activities that the BWG have been engaged in over the past year to assess biodiversity in Brundall. There was also an exhibition illustrating the results of biodiversity surveys carried by the group at Church Fen, Cremers Meadow, Low Farm Wood, and the Countryside Park. The BWG also presented the findings of a breeding birds survey at key sites in Brundall and a Biodiversity Audit of the whole Parish.
The open day was well attended and many of the visitors signed up to receive further information on the future work of the BWG.

Land Management Committee meeting 26th January 2023
The Land Management Committee will be holding a meeting on Thursday 26th January at 10.30am at Brundall Memorial Hall. All residents are welcome to attend.
There is a Countryside Working Group set up to ensure the site is well kept and run with the aims of the Park in mind and to help maintain the site. Contact the Deputy Clerk to the Parish Council. Email [email protected] or T. 01603 712223 and ask for Claudia Dickson.

Oak (400), Birch (300), Hazel (300), Cherry (100), Hawthorn (100), Field Maple (100), Guelder Rose (50), Sweet Chestnut (100), Crab Apple (50), Myrobalan Plum (50) and Blackthorn (50).
What is Brundall Countryside Park?
The Countryside Park was established by the Parish Council in 2014 to provide a place for the people of the Brundall to relax and exercise surrounded by nature.
Over 1600 trees and shrubs have been planted to establish native woodlands and an orchard, and flower-rich grasslands have been created. These habitats are already attracting a wide variety of wildlife and are managed sensitively following a management plan. We ask that members of the public, and their dogs (if applicable), protect this environment by refraining from walking on wildlife areas. The car park and network of mown paths and open areas are maintained to provide access around the site.
What can you do there?
The Countryside Park is intended primarily for quiet forms of recreation that will not disturb wildlife or other people using the park. Examples of suitable activities include walking, running/jogging, dog walking, nature watching, reading/drawing and quiet picnics.
Ball games and other energetic or noisy activities are not welcomed. Brundall Parish Council provides facilities for these elsewhere in the village. Cycling, equestrian activities, launching of drones, unauthorised motor or electric vehicles, barbecues, and fires are not permitted.
Anyone wishing to hold organised group activities must discuss this with the Parish Council and receive their permission prior to any event taking place. Brundall Countryside Park is a wonderful facility provided for the pleasure of villagers and visitors.
