We are the Lichfield and Hatherton Canal Restoration Trust - reinstating the historic Lichfield and Hatherton Canals for the benefit of the community.
Our vision is to restore the Lichfield and Hatherton canals - creating a green and blue corridor for the benefit of our local and wider community and making them available for navigation.
We are building on what’s already been achieved, to complete full restoration of both canals and provide the following benefits:
- Green and blue space for walkers, runners, cyclists etc.
- Sustainable habitats for diversifying wildlife, increasing biodiversity and carbon capture
- A navigable route for boaters
- Economic benefits such as inward investment, tourism and new business for the wider community
- Training and development opportunities for volunteers of all ages
- Health and wellbeing for volunteers and the public
