What a great start to the week, over 40 metres of hedgerow layed by #Volunteers along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal West. Hedge laying creates an improved boundary & ideal habitat for #Wildlife.

What a team, well done & thank you! 👏👏 #VolunteerByWater #Volunteering

An incredible difference made by our volunteers last Friday in #Manchester keeping our canals looking clean & tidy 😌

If you fancy getting involved, come along to our welcome session this Friday in Manchester to find out more 👉 https://t.co/sbO58c7nVs

Well Done & Thank you! 👏

[Canal & River Trust @CanalRiverTrust]

The Government has made an announcement about the funding of the nation's canals that puts the future of our much-loved network at risk ❗
We hope you'll share our disappointment at this decision & want to help to #KeepCanalsAlive 💙

@MCRMetrolink hey 👋 just making you aware, the glass pane on the board at the Burton road stop has been smashed

[Chris Bird @chrsbird]

We returned with lots of plants, stain & even some tree stumps from fallen trees that have been cut & removed from the canal. #Littleborough towpath taskforce volunteers have done an amazing job transforming this space - thanks everyone! 👏

@CrtPonting a little later than I said it would be, but as promised... 🫣

[Chris Bird @chrsbird]

Last week volunteers were busy planting up our new raised bed in #Manchester City Centre! We've been hard at work recently creating this new green space along our urban canal and I think it's safe to say it's paid off 🌱🌞

@nickahenry Well I was hoping three, but it doesn't seem to be the case 💔 continuing our little project... Your spraying is going to come in handy in a month or two!

[Chris Bird @chrsbird]

Today marked three years as a member of staff at the Trust and what better way to spend it than at a light show at #piccadillyundercroft ✨
