Co- ordinated by Countryside Council for Wales, CAN is one of the strategic projects under Environment for Growth (Priority 4, Theme 3) of the Convergence Programme. The Valleys area is not eligible for funding under this programme other than through the Wild Fishing Wales element - this is led by Environment Agency Wales with significant elements being delivered by community groups throughout the Convergence area including, in particular, the new local Rivers Trusts and riparian land owners.
