5 Nov Clean Up

Thanks to everyone who joined in with the clean up last Saturday - as you can see from the photo a massive amount of rubbish was removed.

River clean up - Saturday 5 November

The River Calder is a great place for everyone to enjoy.  On 5 November between 10 am and 1 pm the Canal and River Trust will be running a volunteer day, doing a general clean up along the River from Battyeford to Ledgard Bridge.  

The Safe Anchor Trust and Pennine Canoe Club will be providing volunteers in boats to undertake a clean up within the River.

The CRT is looking for volunteers to join the clean up along the river bank, starting from the canal next to Waterside Walk off Wood Lane, Mirfield.

Volunteers at work

These are photos of our volunteers who were busy tidying and improving the paths alongside the canal in Mirfield on Tuesday:

Open Day at Stanley Ferry Workshop - 3 September

Discover how lock gates are made during this very special open day at Stanley Ferry Workshop.  

Meet the expert lock gate makers and find out how the Canal and River Trust is keeping a centuries-old tradition alive. During your tour of the lock gate workshop, where gates are still made by hand, you'll be amazed at the size of the gates (some are the same height as two-storey houses!)

There's no need to book but arrive early to avoid the queues - this event has been extremely popular in previous years.
