The Green Fund will be used by the trust to invest in low carbon technologies and various environmental projects such as creating new wild life habitats on the waterways. The company will also encourage holidaymakers to make a voluntary donation of £5.00 per car to the fund to offset their own travel to and from the boat. 'Our reliable, quiet, smooth running diesel engines make modern narrow boating not only one of the most relaxing and rewarding holidays but also one of the greenest,' said UK Boat Hire MD, Edward Helps.

We care passionately about the wellbeing of our boaters and our waterway environment with the precious wildlife that help to make waterways holidays so special, he added.
