Training & skills
The objects of the Trust are to advance the public education by engendering and fostering an awareness of the Chester Canal, its activities, heritage and environs, in local people and visitors by enabling people to crew heritage narrowboats: through the provision of training and education in the skills of the waterway environment
We have recognised that without care the history surrounding the movement of goods along the canals in wooden boats will disappear. The Trust is therefore keen to see the development of facilities for training and education in the skills of the waterway environment, including work on restoring historic narrowboats. (see 'Preservation of narrowboats').
