Balsam Bash - Saturday 14th April 2012 - 10:30

The first of the season! Meet at the waterfall, bring gloves and wear wellies. This event is run by Andy Blackwell. At this time of the year Himalyan Balsam plants are just seadlings and easily pulled up or broken off. By August they could be 10 feet high!

Productive Balsam destruction - with the offending seedlings with their circular indented cotyledons (circled) and one photo with the team in action.
