Calder Future is a partnership to improve the River Calder, its tributaries and bank-sides
Calder Future is a partnership between the local community and agencies with responsibility for waterways within the Calder Valley. The organisations involved together with our volunteers work to improve the river Calder, its tributaries, the Rochdale canal and the Calder & Hebble Navigation. The main aims of Calder Future can be divided into three areas:
Environmental - to protect and enhance biodiversity through implementing sustainable improvements beside the waterways.
Economic - to act as a focus and catalyst for regeneration of the river corridor and to identify opportunities for leisure and tourism.
Social - to increase access to waterways by involving local people in improvement activities.
The partnership is made up of: British Waterways, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council, Calder Future Ltd, Calderdale Friends of the Earth, Environment Agency, Green Business Network, Halifax Canoe Club, Northern Naturefriends, Treesponsibility, and Yorkshire Water.
However, critical to the work of Calder Future are our volunteers, the people who are actively involved in river enhancement - they are the real custodians of our waterways!
