 AVIAN FLU - National prevention zone declaredThe latest situation, advice for poultry keepers and for the general public can be found on the GOV.UK website This means it is a legal requirement for all bird keepers to follow strict biosecurity measures Free Training for Volunteer Carers Volunteers provide an incredible range of support for their communities, and as we find ourselves in a winter lockdown the need for volunteers to support the coronavirus response with services like telephone support and befriending has never been greater. Checking in with someone who's vulnerable and shielding is a fantastic way to check that they're looking after their health and wellbeing as best they can, help reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, and confirm they have the essentials they need. Even a few minutes of physical activity can bring mental and physical health benefits. When volunteers are checking in on people in their communities, they should be able to ask about how active someone is as part of their overall health and wellbeing check. Not everyone is comfortable talking about physical activity, so Active Norfolk is hosting two free training courses to help those working in the voluntary sector feel more confident in talking about it. Whether you're a regular volunteer or have stepped in to support the coronavirus response, this free training will help you feel confident in talking about exercise and in supporting residents in their community with their health and wellbeing. The course covers practical elements such as conversation starters, how to recommend physical activity, and ideas and resources to signpost to amongst others. The sessions will be held virtually on Thursday 11th February 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. and Wednesday 10th March 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. To find out more information and book your place, email Amy.Story@activenorfolk.org or visit https://www.activenorfolk.org/news/2021/01/training-to-help-community-volunteers-talk-about-paTree Felling in Bilney Woods The Forestry Commission has notified the Parish Council that they will start felling in February - probably about 20th. and continue for about 6 weeks. Two areas are to be felled: A
block on both sides of the Denton’s Farm track just before you reach the
houses, and a strip along the southern edge of the forest following the
lower path. It
looks as if, during the 6 weeks when felling will take place, that all
the forest west of the newly shingled fire route will be off bounds. The right of way to Denton’s Farm will remain open. We understand that the Denton’s Farm patch is likely to be dealt with first, though that may change as soil conditions vary. ______________ Green Homes Grant Scheme Proposed Wellness
