Join us in removing the pesky floating pennywort at this Pennywort Paddle & Pull event! Get ready to make a difference while having fun in the beautiful outdoors.

Floating pennywort is a highly invasive plant species present in the UK that leads to loss of native biodiversity, increased risk of flooding and decreased water quality. Continued management and removal is essential, so we could really use your help to protect our rivers from this plant.

We are looking for volunteers to help as 'banks people' to pull floating pennywort collected by our boats people. This will involve walking along the grand union canal to pull pennywort from the river onto the banks. We would love to see you there!

Please sign up here and we will be in touch regarding further details for the event.
