Community Volunteering: Himalayan Balsam Bashing

Join the Community Bash! Are you ready to battle the invader?

The time has come to roll up your sleeves and take on the notorious Himalayan Balsam! This pretty but pesky plant is taking over our riversides through Loughton Valley, and we need your help to put it in its place.

Mission: Protect our native plants and wildlife from this greedy invader.

Your Role: Pull it, bash it, and restore nature’s balance!
Whether you’re a seasoned balsam basher or a complete beginner, we’d love to have you on the team. No experience is necessary.

All you need is some elbow grease and a love of the outdoors and a chance to see some wildlife along the brook.

Wednesday 10th June 10am to 12pm, and 1pm to 3pm
Meeting Location: 10th June – Meeting at The Stepping Stones in Loughton outbid.states.reason
Car parking: park on Linceslade Grove Sports Centre or at Lodge Lake car park (around 10 minute walk away)
