Give native flowers a helping hand by joining us on this task to remove Himalayan Balsam from the parkland.
Following our successful Bash earlier in the month, we return to North Loughton Valley at Bancroft Park for 2 sessions.
Are you ready to battle the invader? This pretty but pesky plant is taking over our riversides, and we need your help to put it in its place.
Mission: Protect our native plants and wildlife from this greedy invader.
Your role: Pull it, bash it, and restore nature's balance! Whether you're a seasoned balsam basher or a complete beginner, we’d love to have you on the team. No experience is necessary. All you need is some elbow grease and a love of the outdoors.
