Removing Himalayan Balsam from New Walk and Millennium Fields
Monday 25th May, 9:30am-3:30pm
Join us on New Walk before making our way up to Millennium Fields to help improve the area by pulling out the invasive plant, Himalayan balsam. Balsam can completely dominate an area, creating a monoculture which diminishes our all important biodiversity. By removing balsam, we are minimising it's spread across our watercourses and greenspaces and making room for native wildflowers and plants which, in turn, support other species like bees, butterflies and water voles.
This session is suitable for groups of 5-12 people. If your group is bigger than this, please get in touch and we will see what we can do. The closest facilities are at Cycle Heaven, about a 10min walk.
Timing can be adjusted if you would like to do a half day. Book this session for your team by clicking below. This session covers a full day but please let us know if different timings suit better. For more information, contact Maeve Milliken by emailing maeve@stnicks.org.uk.
