Using our existing teams of volunteers, their friends and families and Lichfield residents to enhance and extend the green corridor as we restore a derelict canal. Our actions, enhancing biodiversity, will raise awareness of how local people can contribute to improving their environment.

The Trust always puts the environment at the centre of the canal restoration work we undertake. But the wider community is not fully aware of the many ways that the canal restoration can support our local environment and wildlife. It is likely that in the next few years we will all see changes in the way the green spaces around us are treated. People need to have information to understand the changes being made.
By planting more trees and wildflowers, holding our habitat events and providing information about our environmental work we will help Lichfield residents to understand the changes and even make changes themselves. Supplementing other restoration work that will provide environmental improvement adjacent to three new residential sites for c.1,400 dwellings, bringing the environment, biodiversity and a green corridor to their door-step.
