The last few visits we have had to Dunham Massey have involved taking out Birch regrowth near the carpark. These small trees had grown up since the National Trust took the estate over, because the land arround the car park could no longer by grazed.
The birch itself is not really a problem - but Himalayan Balsam is growing under it, and the birch greatly complicates efforts to eraicate the Balsam.
16 volunteers turned out and spent the day cutting and burning the Birch and some Ash regrowth - recreating a more open pattern of vegitation which should be simplify the longer term aim of getting rid of the Balsam.
