We are currently restoring the canal channel at Crickheath and working towards Pant. The restoration project encompasses many different aspects including environment, heritage conservation, ecology and civil engineering. The site is a construction site but the project has something for all - light and heavier duties, skilled and unskilled. Work parties are typically one a month: Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Volunteers give what time they can according to their availability - there is no expectation to attend every day.
All PPE is provided plus hot and cold drinks - and cake! Just bring your own lunch and weather-suitable clothing.
New volunteers with any level of experience are welcome, our work parties are an opportunity to learn new skills under the guidance of experienced people. You may get wet and muddy, sense of humour essential!
It appeals to those who enjoy fresh air and a sense of achievement.
Why not try a taster session and see if you enjoy it.
