We had a large group this week, merging with the Merseyside group. The task was the first balsam bash of the year down by the river in the southern woods. We had a lovely day in the sunshine/shade of the trees and destroyed a lot of balsam by hand and with slashers. We found balsam growing in unusual places:
Several passersby asked what we were doing so we spread the word about this invasive species.
On the way back to the carpark we took a short detour to look at Countryfile wood which we helped plant. It is doing well with a good plant survival rate and you can see the forest islands starting to appear.
