To have an amazing experience, people think you’ve got to go somewhere wild and remote – they forget the diversity of wildlife we have on our doorstep. Our inland waterways are a perfect example, regardless of the time of year there is always a wealth of wildlife waiting to be discovered. One thing I never forget however is not to take these precious habitats for granted. The Waterways Trust is working hard to improve our canals and rivers for people and wildlife and I am delighted to be able to support them in their work.”

Roger Hanbury, Chief Executive, The Waterways Trust said: “We are very excited to have Miranda on board as Vice President. Miranda has already supported our waterway birds appeal and I know that her involvement with the Trust will add great value to our work. Her energy and enthusiasm for the waterway environment will be greatly appreciated and we look forward to working with her.”
