The River Gipping forms part of the boundary of Creeting St Peter, and whilst the River Gipping Trust is working to restore the river along its full length, the Pickerel Project focuses on maintaining the area in the middle of Stowmarket, an area where litter is dumped in significant quantities.
Its declared aims are;
1. The improvement of wildlife habitat
2. Improvement/enhancement of the landscape and access to the river
3. The promotion of informal public recreation
4. The promotion of culture, heritage and the arts

On Sunday, volunteers will be out, as they are on the first Sunday of every month, meeting at the Prentice Road car park at 10 a.m. If you join them, you may be in the river (it isn't very deep) clearing litter, or on the banks, removing weeds and tidying the undergrowth.
