Making life better by water!
About us
We're the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways across England and Wales, because we believe that life is better by water. Our research findings are showing that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, really does make us feel happier and healthier. With ever increasing rates of obesity and stress and declining mental health in the UK, we believe we are uniquely placed to make a significant contribution to improving the wellbeing of millions of people. Many of the waterways we care for run through some of our country’s most deprived and multi-cultural urban communities where access to quality green space is scarce. That’s why, at Canal & River Trust, our passionate team are working with volunteers and communities across England and Wales to transform their canals and rivers into spaces where local people want to spend time and feel better. We know this will bring wellbeing opportunities to millions.

Thanks to thorough testing, we've reduced the Walsall towpath closure after the chemical pollution incident from 12 miles to 1 km. Our regional director Henriette Breukelaar explains to BBC News why understanding the full impact on wildlife may take time 🐛🐞🦟🦋

What a great visit this morning to Baileys Pool in #Walsall! We have been working in partnership with our colleagues at Walsall Council over the last couple of years to transform this site. The Canal & River Trust has been removing aquatic weeds that have been impacting the site for years whilst WMBC have successfully delivered new paths, tree works and soon to be needed interpretation and more. We met with the local fisheries officer today from the Environment Agency to discuss the #waterquality improvements that have been made so far and the importance of fish health and future considerations for the site!! Well done to all involved and a special thanks to Richard McVittie for seeing the potential as I did a number of years ago! 💧🌳 Enovert Henriette Breukelaar CIWEM West Midlands
