Towpath Tidy 2010
Towpath Tidy 2010
Make a difference to your local waterway.
Are you boater, a walker or a nature lover? Would you like to make an impact on your local canal or river – and make new friends along the way?
Every year, British Waterways makes an appeal to those who use the nation’s waterways, including boaters, walkers, cyclists and commuters, to get closer to nature by taking part in its annual volunteer days.
People interested in making a difference to their local canal or river are invited to join BW’s office and maintenance teams in a series of locally co-ordinated events around March time.

Take a look at the Towpath Tidy video diary taken by Fran Read of British Waterways.
Towpath Tidy 2010 took place in March. More than 1,100 volunteers joined 291 members of British Waterways’ staff in filling 2,238 bags of litter, painting bridges, locks, fences and graffiti covered walls, and cutting back vegetation. A big thank you to all involved.
What will I do at Towpath Tidy?
All sorts of things. You could pull litter out of the canal from a boat, paint lock gates, cut back vegetation or fill a rubbish bag from the towpath.
