Wheely good donation for the Wey & Arun Canal Trust

5th Dec 2011

The Wey & Arun Canal Trust has received a brand new Land Rover Discovery, donated by Harwoods Land Rover of Pulborough in Sussex.

The vehicle has already been put to good use by one of the Trust’s working parties. Volunteers have been hard at work coppicing in Sidney Wood, where the Land Rover is the safest and most effective way of transporting materials and equipment.

In the coming months the Trust anticipates an even greater need for adequate four-wheel-drive transport between sites.

Ideal cause

Harwoods has supported the Wey & Arun Canal Trust since the mid-1990s and this latest donation of a Land Rover Discovery is the fifth to date. The firm has described the restoration work as an ‘ideal cause’ to support as the the waterway is a local concern in a rural area where such vehicles are often vital for access.

The Trust is extremely grateful to Harwoods for its ongoing support. Thousands of visitors every year already enjoy the restored sections of the canal and by donating to the cause, Harwoods is contributing to the enjoyment of many more in the future.
