The canal is the habitat for rare protected flora and fauna. The restoration Strategy provides a detailed (and hard-won) compromise for a navigable canal with protected habitats. Accepted by the Councils, the statutory agencies and indeed CRT – all have duties for nature conservation (just see if your council has declared a Nature Emergency) – carrying the Strategy forward can ensure the canal is not hijacked to deny the wider social and economic benefits for visitors and locals. Funding already secured in Wales will rebuild two of the four blocked bridges north of Welshpool, dredge the channel and create new nature reserves. Other Government funding could pay for the other two bridges. So you can see how important it is to complete restoration of the last two miles in Shropshire.

Your generosity will support the team of skilled and experienced volunteers. If you can sign the Gift Aid option, a tax rebate can add 25% to your gift.

Without your donation, work could slow or stop.
