Mission Statement
As the UK’s largest canal charity, our role in protecting and revitalising our nation’s canals never stops. And we couldn’t do this without people like you. It takes many hands and hearts to keep our 250-year-old bridges, locks, reservoirs and towpaths in working condition, and many more to help nature, wildlife and people thrive.
Description
We have 68 Sites of Special Scientific Interest and approximately 3,000 County Wildlife Sites in our care, providing habitats for wildlife under threat. Nearly 750 miles of our canals have been awarded Green Flag status and we’re aiming for much more.
We look after 2,000 miles of historic canals and rivers including 2,970 bridges, 1,581 locks and 281 aqueducts.
We’re the third largest owner of listed buildings and other structures in the UK, with 2,705 in our care.
Our waterways encompass seven historic parks and gardens, six battlefields, 46 scheduled ancient monuments and four World Heritage Sites.
