Job description

Join us and work as part of a team to look after your local canal or river, in this area the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal.

The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal (Welsh: Camlas Sir Fynwy a Brycheiniog) is in South Wales. For most of its currently (2025) navigable 35-mile (56 km) length, it runs through the Brecon Beacons National Park. Its present rural character and tranquillity belies its original purpose as an industrial corridor for coal and iron, which were brought to the canal by a network of tramways and/or railroads, many of which were built and owned by the canal company.

Within the Towpath Team, you could be planting, painting, doing vegetation management, litter picking, or any number of tasks.
It's a great chance to meet new people and learn about how we look after the canals & rivers.
