Himalayan balsam removal: River Foss - Haxby

Monday 25th May, 1.30-3:30pm

Join us at West Nooks and help to improve the riverbanks by pulling out 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 making room for native wildflowers and plants which, in turn, support other species like bees, butterflies and water voles. 

This session will take place at West Nooks Water Meadow (YO32 3FD). There are no facilities on site, but there are several nearby cafes where we can use facilities. The session is suitable for groups of 5-15 people. If your group is bigger than this, please get in touch and we will see what we can do.

If there are any health or mobility issues within your group that may affect someone carrying out the task, please get in touch and we will see what we can do to support you as there may be alternative tasks available. However not all tasks and sites are fully accessible.
