Wonderful opportunity to enjoy two unique Wildlife Paddles, with expert insights from the Wildlife Trust. And a full 50% goes to The Wildlife Trust.

​Canoe2 have linked up with The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire & Northamptonshire in an exciting partnership giving you the chance to experience nature on the River Nene in a very different way.

The partnership provides two unique opportunities to combine a relaxing paddle along the river with unique insights into the local nature from Wildlife Trust experts:
