The group consists of members of the Rotary Club that are keen to make a difference within their local community, also working with other local groups to assist with tasks.
The group are doing a fantastic job working closely with the local Trust team to re-lay sections of the towpath through Rushall near Walsall in the West Midlands to improve the surface of the canal towpath and increase the overall look of the area. They litter pick the local area, trim hedges and minor vegetation tasks are completed when necessary.
All are welcome
The Rotary have adopted the major section of the canal skirting Aldridge on behalf of the community. They believe that many will feel as passionate about the canal as they do about the floral displays in the village and the areas of seating at the Garden of Reflection, the Bonner Garden, the Cenotaph and the Croft. The canal from Stubbers Green Road to Daw End Lane is a pleasant meandering walk. But there's plenty of work to do: re-exposing the water's edge brick work, removing brambles, cutting back hedgerows even litter picking.
They have organised work parties on certain Wednesday and Sunday mornings and welcome anyone who is keen to get involved to come along’Bryntysilio Outdoor Education Activity Centre, Llangollen.
Bryntysilio Outdoor Education Activity Centre, Llangollen.
The Activity Centre joined the Trust to work in partnership, through adopting a section of canal and towpath in Llangollen, Wales in June 2022. Their connection with schools throughout the West Midlands that visit the centre on activity days to learn about nature, heritage and team building has seen hundreds of school children each year, spending time along the canals through Llangollen helping to keep it clean and learn what canals are for and how they can best use them.
Bryntysilio is an outdoor education centre based in Llangollen, Wales offering 1-, 3- and 5-day residential holidays tailored to your requirements. Some of our most popular activities include mountain biking, canoes, gorge walking and rock scrambling. Check out their Facebook page too
