Lowland Canals Volunteer Group (Scottish Canals)

The Lowland Canal Volunteer Group (LCVG) is a network of canal based voluntary sector organisations across lowland Scotland who work together to keep the canals an attractive place for all to enjoy.

The LCVG includes Bridge 19 - 40 Canal Society, Edinburgh Canal Society, Forth & Clyde Canal Society, Linlithgow Union Canal Society, Re-Union Canal Boats, Scottish Canals, Scottish Waterways Trust and Seagull Trust Cruises.

Why not join us, have fun and meet people whilst we undertake a variety of tasks ranging from litter picking, painting and vegetation management to fence repair and access steps clearing.

Look out too for LCVG-led events. The group led an award-winning series of public events  to mark the tenth anniversary of the reopening of the Union and Forth & Clyde Canals and the creation of the world's only rotating boatlift, the world famous Falkirk Wheel.
