Today three MNTVers (Daniel, Christine and Andy) travelled to Erddig near Wrexham for a day's balsam bashing with ranger Francis and seven of the Merseyside volunteers. The day was forecast to be the hottest and last of the current heatwave, but thankfully it never got too hot. We worked all day in the shade of big trees beside a stream with a nice breeze blowing.
The balsam was often unto head height and pulled out of the sandy soil very easily. In no time at all we had made piles of broken balsam and built them higher and higher during the day.
We began at 10 and finished at 3 and had lunch inside the volunteer centre beside the Felin carpark.
