ColneCAN Conference Resources
The Colne Catchment Action Network (ColneCAN) held their first annual conference in November 2018 at Annables Farm School in Harpenden, close to the headwaters of the River Ver.
The event showcased the latest projects delivered by our partners to improve the Colne Catchment, in line with the action network’s six aims.
The conference was attended by over 50 individuals from 28 different organisations from across the catchment and provided a fantastic oppertunity to network with new contacts, in addition to hearing about the inspirational work that has been undertaken to improve the river network over the past year.
