South Ribble members out Himalayan Balsam Bashing at the weekend. This invasive plant outcompetes wildflowers, leaving riverbanks vulnerable to erosion when it dies back in winter. Removing it helps to protect habitats and improve the health of our rivers and green spaces #BalsamBashing #GreenParty

Free, outdoor exercise while helping to conserve the river.

I went to check on the Himalayan balsam growth on Friday, as I finalise the Tweed Foundation’s Himalayan balsam pulling parties. It varies across sites, which helps decide where we'll start. Stay tuned for dates #inns #invasives #invasivespecies #balsambashing #HimalayanBalsam #Whiteadder
