Himalayan balsam edit

A gentle circular walk through Gift to Nature’s Bee field to learn more about bees with Ian Boyd, and then down to the River Yar where we will look at the problems caused by Himalayan balsam. Help to spot the plant and pull it as we go. Bring gardening gloves if you’d like to help with the pulling.

Leaders Nicola Wheeler (Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust) and Claire Hector (Plant Positive, Natural Enterprise).

Starts 10.30am – 1pm. Meet in Newchurch car park, off School Lane, Newchurch GR 563 855
