"I'm simply a guy with a canoe keeping the river tidy for the wildlife and local residents"

canoe River Cleaner

Take the River Freshney, a love of wildlife, a canoe and a man on a mission against rubbish, and you have James ‘Jim’ — the Canoe River Cleaner.

Since the 2020 COVID lockdowns, Jim has educated us all about the health and wildlife of not only the Freshney, but other local waterways too. No doubt his six years of work will have given him plenty of stories — both good and bad — that he will share with us.
