CanalCast: The Canal & River Trust Podcast
By Canal & River Trust
CanalCast is our podcast series where we discuss the big issues we're helping to tackle.
From our health and wellbeing to our economy, from our city spaces to wildlife recovery and climate change, we’ll discover the critical role canals play in shaping all of our futures. We'll also explore just how vital and vulnerable Britain’s inland waterways really are.
Joining host Louis Howell, a Canal & River Trust Council member and Chair of our Youth Engagement Advisory Group, we’ll be virtually travelling around all 2,000 miles of our canal network.
Louis will catch up with our experts to discover the huge impact of our work and why we need support, now more than ever, to tackle some of the biggest challenges we face.
