Help Out Day: Himalayan Balsam Removal
Help remove Himalayan Balsam, an invasive species, from Elterwater.
You'll be working with our rangers pulling up the invasive species Himalayan balsam, to create space for native plants to thrive.
This will be a day at Elterwater where we will be pulling up Himalayan Balsam, snapping the stems and leaving them in piles. We will be working in boggy areas so you will need wellies.
We will have some pairs of work gloves available. Please bring your own if you have some.

- We will meet at Elterwater car park at 9.45am, then walk to the woodland. Please arrive 5 minutes early. Postcode is LA22 9HU and the What 3 Words is ///tacky.pebble.adopt.
