In summary, our aim is to restore the derelict Swansea Canal to a navigable standard and to improve the environment of the canal for the benefit of its flora and fauna. Formed in 1981 and currently with 135 members, the Swansea Canal Society(SCS) is run by a group of volunteers and became a registered charity on 25th August 2004.
