More Details:
This volunteer task will be our first Himalayan Balsam session of the season! This is an invasive species which we remove by hand pulling, and is a great task for everyone to get stuck into.
Meeting point will be in the Honley Old Woods car park, we will then walk through the woods to the balsam area together. Parking is limited, so if you are unable to get a spot in the actual car park there is usually space in the layby on the road above the woodland.
Please bring your own refreshments and gloves (if possible), and wear stout boots or wellies. As we will be working in understory vegetation to get to the balsam long sleeves and trousers are recommended to avoid any nettle stings or similar.
Everyone is welcome (whether you’ve never volunteered before or are a regular volunteer)! All the equipment and training support is provided.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone!
