As part of their ongoing commitment to Rochdale Canal, the Waterways Trust and the BTCV have arranged a series of winter and spring activities along the canal starting this January.
Activities kick off with the first of four towpath tidies with the BTCV on Saturday 21 January.
This will be followed by a Tree Identification Walk along the Newton Heath Towpath on Saturday 28 January. Budding tree enthusiasts (yes, that’s a terrible pun) will be able to join the Waterways Trust’s local expert as they provide insights about local flora, fauna and fungi in the area.
Further towpath tides will then take place on Tuesday 28 February, Wednesday 28 March and Saturday 28 April. And for those really keen outdoorers (pretty sure I’ve made up that word, but I see it catching on) there will be a Wild Food Foraging session on Saturday 7 April!
All these events will begin at Lock 69 at the Newton Heath stretch of the Rochdale Canal.
If you would like more information about these events, including times and how to book a place, please contact the Waterways Trust on 0161 223 1155.
