Himalayan Balsam is an invasive plant that grows rapidly in tall, dense colonies along brooks and rivers. By causing native plants to die and having reduced biodiversity, the brook supports less wildlife, endangering creatures like the water vole. It's also really satisfying to pull, so why not come along, relax... and destroy a population of invasive plants!!

Volunteers are needed to help with the maintenance of the site, activities may include tree planting, lopping and pruning existing plants and generally helping.
