ADVICE (10am Monday 31 October 2022 until further notice)

Please be advised we have quite extensive Floating Pennywort present on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal between Alvechurch and Lower Bittell.

We are kindly asking boaters to avoid travelling through the clumps, where possible.

The Trust are trying to tackle this invasive species by using biocontrol. A Weevil has been released along this canal and monitoring is on-going. A video demonstrating how the Trust are tackling this can be found here:
