2025 — Remarkable progress and the SESRO Reservoir challenge

In this episode, we reflect on a year of remarkable progress for the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust in 2025. Volunteers across the branches achieved historic restoration milestones—from clearing canals at Uffington Gorse and extending waterways at Wichelstowe to advancing biodiversity projects and improving towpaths. The Trust faced strategic challenges like the SESRO reservoir proposal but stood firm in advocacy and planning. We also celebrate the incredible dedication of thousands of volunteer hours recognized at the Tony Davy awards. Join us as we look ahead to a promising 2026 and the Trust’s 50th anniversary celebrations.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Journals/ Magazines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Illustrated History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wilts & Berks Canal Trust⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
