It was a small turnout for our return visit to Speke Hall on 22nd June... just three volunteers.
We were again working in Stockton Wood but this time we were working right at the back of the woods next to the tyre factory. The task was balsam pulling but with hardly any balsam it was more like weeding the woods!
Due to the balsam being spread out across the woods we could not really get a before and after picture.
As you can see below the wood is very dense with prickly bushes which made the task quite difficult at times.
The balsam was mostly quite small but we did occasionally find a larger plant!
We ended the day just after lunchtime as we had cleared everything and the ranger did not have anything else for us to do. A bonus to get to the supermarket before the shops close!
Photo above is a lovely wildflower bed just in front of the visitor centre.
