CyanLines x Canal & River Trust towpath clean up – 10am Saturday 23 May
We’ve teamed up with the fantastic people at Canal & River Trust (CRT) to help clean up a section of the Ashton Canal towards Etihad Stadium.
We’ll work in groups along the canal banks and experienced CRT volunteer leaders will guide us, sharing heritage insights along the way. It’s a great chance to meet people, spend a day in the fresh air and make our green and blue spaces cleaner for all.

National Trust Sky Gardening Challenge until 16 August
The National Trust’s Sky Gardening Challenge is looking for people across the UK to turn their balconies, baskets or simple window boxes into something special! You can grow anything you like from herbs, perennials, to veggies and bedding plants and, best of all, you won’t need any prior knowledge of gardening or budget.
Sign up to take part online at www.nationaltrust.org.uk/skygardening-challenge or by calling 0344 800 1895. Follow along on Facebook and Instagram @ntskygardeningchallenge
There’s lots of helpful workshops planned too, just click here for all the dates and details.
