Enhancing the Birmingham Mainline Canal for Wildlife to Thrive
In November 2012 the Canal and Rivers Trust, with support from the Birmingham & Black Country Nature Improvement Area, started work on a project to improve linkage between the Dudley and Birmingham canal networks.
The 'Main Line Canal Wildlife Enhancement' project linked the Netherton Branch Canal, Gower Branch Canal and Sheepwash Urban Park Wildlife Sites to the heart of Birmingham via the canal network.
