Wilts and Berks Canal Trust
Charity no.: 299595
This Group works on the creation of amenity areas based on the line of the Wilts
and Berks Canal. It aims to eventually fully restore the canal to navigable
standards, and reconnect it to the inland waterway network. The Trust is careful to protect and encourage wildlife interests during the restoration process because of the role played by canals as a sanctuary for
terrestrial, aquatic and wetland wildlife. We welcome the opportunity to
undertake conservation projects in partnership with wildlife groups and
organisations.Activities and services:
- Guided walks along the canal
- Canal orientated restoration projects
- Illustrated talks about the canal
- Monthly meetings of the volunteer groups
- Monthly and weekly volunteer restoration and conservation work parties
Geographic coverage:North and South Wiltshire, Vale of the White Horse. There are
Membership branches in Abingdon, East Vale (Wantage/Grove) and West Vale (Shrivenham).
