Restoration Working Parties

The Wendover Canal Trust’s purpose is the restoration of the Wendover Canal to full navigation, which has already achieved a large Biodiversity Net Gain and will continue to do so. This restoration is undertaken by working parties of our volunteers under the watchful eye of Operations Director Tony Bardwell.

Next Restoration Work Parties

Restoration working parties are held throughout the year, starting on the first Friday of the month, listed below. We’ve been making such good progress that we will continue working for up to 14 days depending on the weather. We need further help for this highly rewarding work; for further information, please contact Tony Bardwell at operations@wendoverarmtrust.co.uk .  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
