Past and Future
Our Recent Achievements
The Trinity Broads Project made the following achievements during 2006 - 2011:
- Recovery of clear water and water plants in all of the Trinity Broads, with the exception of Filby.
- Mud pumping of Little Broad (Burgh Common) and the eastern arm of Ormesby Broad resulting in return of rare species of water plants.
- Large scale clearance of scrub from marginal reedbeds and open fen providing more habitat for wetland wildlife such as bittern and swallowtail butterfly.
-
Extensive monitoring and free advice provided to all farmers in the catchment to reduce nutrients in the broads.
- New monitoring and new research to increase our knowledge of the broads including assessing fish populations and surveying sediment.
- Increase in volunteers involved in practical conservation management and ongoing survey work, providing career start up.
- Enhancing enjoyment of the broads by the public through improving public access sites, providing an events programme including canoe trails, and producing newsletters, leaflets and interpretation.
- Gaining national acclaim by winning two prestigious awards, and raising the profile through local and national media, such as BBCCountryfile.(right) Partnership staff with the Waterways Renaissance Award, 2010
