Back to Nature walk to the Campbell Wharf Marina

On one of the hottest days in August we welcomed our very own member, Sophia, as a speaker to our Back to Nature session.

Sophia has been a volunteer with The Canal and River Trust for many years and offered to share her expertise with us as we walked to Campbell Wharf Marina from CMK.

Taking shade under one of the oldest canal bridges in Milton Keynes Sophia delivered an informative talk to our members about the history of the canal. She also brought along a lock key and tow line and told us how they are used.

We’d like to say a big thank you to Sophia for doing this, it was a wonderful addition to our walk.

If you would like to join us for future Back to Nature sessions and share your expertise on the wildlife or history of Milton Keynes please do get in touch with sophie.white@talkback-uk.com
