This work party will run from 9:30am until approx. 3:00pm, but you are welcome to join in for as little or as long as you want. Work will involve hand pulling of balsam plants and potentially "bashing" using hand tools to prevent it from going to seed and spreading further. Full training will be provided.

The session is outdoors so make sure you have waterproofs and sun protection as needed. Bring plenty of food and water to keep you going. Bring your own work gloves if you have them (we will have a small number available to borrow if you don't have your own). Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and sturdy footwear, wellies or good boots are best. Long trousers and long sleeves are advised to protect your arms and legs, as balsam often grows alongside nettles and brambles!
