We'd had a few reports of people (boaters and non-boaters) emptying things into the canal that they shouldn't. Here's a gentle reminder of what you can and can't do - https://t.co/dWuhxzHJz8 - Please keep it clean! #CanalLife#BoatLife
@JeffYates6 Hi Jeff, we already spend £1.2m on bin emptying, litter picking and fly tip clearance, plus our fab volunteers give over 125,000 hours (outside of pandemics) to litter work!
Today we're celebrating #WorldWildlifeDay with some of our favourite wildlife that can be found around our rivers & coastline 🌊🛶🦆🐬Boating sustainably has never been more important, make a difference to your local area by making 1 change to your boating https://t.co/gmQrDm1ZFd
We've had a boundary wall belonging to @networkrail fall onto the towpath on the #Worcester & #Birmingham Canal between Five Ways Bridge 86, Islington Row and Footbridge 84A Birmingham University Footbridge. The towpath is closed until 26 Feb. @BhamCityCouncil@ExpressandStar
🔉 Sound on. Wherever you are today, find a moment of calm and listen to the gentle sounds of water lapping and birds singing at the canal. #LifesBetterByWater
Do you think you know more about the fish you catch in our canals and rivers than the average GCSE #biologystudent? 🎣

Thanks to players of @PostcodeLottery we’ve received support from its #PostcodeClimateChallenge initiative. This will go to support our #PlasticsChallenge and have an impact in helping reduce plastics in our waterways 🌍 Find out more 👉 https://t.co/BNXBs21rvl
I have, could you? Those causing plastic litter on our waterways are in a minority - if everyone else picks up even one piece of litter each time we visit our local waterways, the towpaths would be litter-free, meaning less plastic in the water and so less washing out to sea.
Each year an estimated 14 million pieces of #plastic rubbish end up in and around our canals and rivers, with around 500,000 pieces flowing out into our oceans. Help protect our waterways by pledging your support today 👉 https://t.co/BNXBs21rvl #PlasticsChallenge
