River Works Programme
Navigation Works Team
The Navigation Works Team maintains and refurbishes our 24 hour moorings, installs signs, clears trees, cuts weed and carries out any other maintenance work close to the waterways to enable you to navigate safely. You can see details of current projects in our works programme.
The team also maintains the navigation rangers' patrol launches and our work boats.
There is a keen group of volunteers who go out with the team and we are always looking for new recruits.
