Following successful joint balsam clearance work parties in 2014, AMAS and the Canal & River Trust agreed to work closer in 2015.  AMAS ‘adopted’ the section of the navigation from Packhorse Bridge to Aylestone Mill Lock, with a view to focusing our efforts in this area, including the monthly litter picks and summer balsam clearance.  See here for the Adoption Agreement.

In 2020 AMAS also affiliated to the Canal & River Trust, confirming our commitment to promoting the benefits of the waterways within our area. See here for the Affiliation Charter.
