Canal & River Trust Education - free primary school trips to your local waterway.

Canal & River Trust - Explorers

The Canal & River Trust is the charity who looks after and brings to life 2,000 miles of waterways, because we believe that life is better by water. 'Explorers' is the Trust's education programme aimed at children aged 5-11. We inspire children's learning by connecting them to our canals and rivers.
