The Waterways Trust

The Waterways Trust was a UK charitable organization dedicated to conserving and promoting the country’s historic canals and rivers. It aimed to raise awareness of the cultural, recreational, and environmental value of waterways, encouraging public access and preservation. The Trust collaborated with communities, industries, and authorities to protect these waterways for future generations, highlighting their importance for leisure, nature, and heritage. In 2012, it merged with the Canal & River Trust, which continues its mission to care for and promote Britain’s inland waterways.
