# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Future of Cannop Ponds: Public Events - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 30 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Wed, 30 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Join Forestry England at a public event to learn more about their proposed scheme for the future of Cannop Ponds.About this EventThe future of Cannop PondsWe are working to keep Cannop Ponds safe for future generations.Cannop Ponds are two reservoirs within the Forest of Dean. The reservoirs were created in the 1820s through the construction of two dams across Cannop Brook. Both dams have had a long history of repairs to stop leaks and fill holes to prevent failure. The dams don’t meet modern requirements and so we are legally required to address the problems to ensure future safety.The more we looked at what we would have to do to fix the issues, the more we saw opportunities to improve the whole site for the future. A different approach is being taken at Upper and Lower Cannop, to reflect the opportunities that each Pond presents. The two will work together to reduce the risk of future flood events and create lasting benefits for local people, visitors and wildlife.SessionsThese informal one-hour engagement sessions are an opportunity for you to see the latest plans and illustrations, meet members of the project team, speak to the experts and find out more about the proposal.
