Balsam bash this Sunday!

Hi, I’m organising a Himalayan Balsam bash this Sunday along the Blackwater Valley path

Himalayan Balsam is an invasive species that spreads rapidly and crowds out native plants. We need your help to pull it up.

Join us for a community action to clear Himalayan Balsam on a stretch of the Blackwater Valley path. We’ll aim to clear areas along the footpath which are pretty accessible rather than entering the river.

When: Sunday 5 July, 9-11am

Where: meet at the Coleford Road Bridge (what 3 words: ///ethic.zeal.unsettled) and we’ll walk to accessible areas along the Blackwater Valley path

What to bring:

Gloves

Wellies

Water and suncream as you see fit

Inspect repellent

Wear: long sleeves and trousers
