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!!

What better way to show your gratitude to the universe than stopping plastic getting into the food chain. Come help us remove litter from our community spaces in Canley, for the benefit of the wildlife and the local people. The turtles will thank you!
