About this Event
CyanLines and Canal & River Trust Ashton Canal towpath clean up
We've teamed up with the fantastic people at Canal & River Trust (CRT) to help clean up a section of the Ashton Canal towards Etihad Stadium.
We’ll work in groups along the canal banks and experienced CRT volunteer leaders will guide us, sharing heritage insights along the way. It's a great chance to meet people, spend a day in the fresh air and make our green and blue spaces cleaner for all.
After the last Piccadilly Basin canal clean up, one volunteer said :
“We had a great team of people join us and it was good to hear their reasons for helping out - many felt a sense of responsibility as city centre residents to look after our canals. We saw lots of lovely pockets of nature along the way and passers-by, including dog walkers, families and cyclists, stopped to say thank-you as they saw us filling our bags with rubbish."
Why not bring your friends and help CyanLines and CRT let nature thrive across our city!
