New drones will make it quicker for the Fire Service to see how a fire is spreading, and spot trigger points of fire development and places where they can intervene to minimise damage to farmland, properties and biodiversity. £1,457

The farm will collect its own biodiversity baseline data through remote sensing and a smartphone app, to be analysed by AI and ecologists. This rePLANET and Mozaic Earth approach is cheaper than in-field ecological assessments. £9,000

Repairs will be made to a traditional barn roof at Norfolk Saffron. Work will include re-roofing a traditional barn with the use of original pantiles and ridge tiles. The project will also see the installation of nest boxes for sparrows. £8,110

New equipment will help monitor and manage deer numbers across 700ha of landscape where deer are impacting farmland, woodland and hedgerows. The project will include a deer management plan and a monitoring programme. £9,333

Work will continue from last year’s success in controlling sea buckthorn along the dunes, which has already shown how a diverse ground flora can recolonise dune slacks. It also reduces fire risk, erosion, and improves visitor access. £5,600

The grant is contributing to a specialist amphibious cutting machine for management of reed, fen and dyke vegetation at Cley nature reserve. Wet winters can limit access, and without management, habitats can be lost to natural succession. £72,855

A power scythe and battery operated mower will be used by volunteers to manage grassland areas and paths. Warmer, wetter growing seasons have led to faster growth, and make grassland management by volunteers with scythes alone unmanageable. £4,310.

Solar panels and compost toilets will make the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Project more sustainable and less reliant on hiring diesel generators and chemical toilets for its residential summer camps. £60,450

A new, wider 260m boardwalk will be built on the Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path National Trail to improve beach access and minimise habitat disturbance in the dunes and pine woods from the 1m yearly visitors. £52,666

A 250-tree organic, community accessible orchard will be planted in Thornham. Apple varieties for eating and cooking will be grafted onto rootstocks and planted informally to replicate a traditional orchard, also helping biodiversity. £4,126

A 3.9km accessible walk will be developed on trust land, passing some of the region’s most historic landmarks. This interpretative walk starting in Overstrand will highlight nature, history, flora and fauna. £75,000

A 30ha area will be established with hand-picked local provenance wildflower seed mix to increase flora and biodiversity. Its location is significant, as it is next to a protected saltmarsh habitat that is home to many rare and protected species. £21,700

Three hives and equipment will enable beekeeping to be introduced at Thornage Hall. It will enhance learning opportunities and activities for people with learning disabilities who live and work there, and improve biodiversity. £3,977

Two ponds on the farm will be restored on a landscape with little or no surface water storage, and a 220ft-deep well. The ponds will be monitored and surveyed through the year, with information shared with the North Norfolk Coastal Group. £7,349

A new pond will be created on a grazing meadow close to Salthouse Heath to support turtle dove populations. A loss of habitats and seeds for feeding means that this, the only migratory dove to the UK, has suffered a huge decline. £4,574.24
