Dartmoor Invasive Species Project - Himalayan Balsam Bashing

t’s that time of year again with the Himalayan balsam just about to come into flower in several places. Following his survey for Dartmoor National Park, ecologist Mervyn Newman, will be organising volunteer days to pull up Himalayan balsam again in all three of the catchments in which the project has been working so far: The West Dart Headwaters, the Avon at South Brent and the Wray Brook at Lustleigh. There will be at least one day a week in each area so there should be lots of chances to get involved. We will be meeting at 10 am with lunch and other breaks before stopping at 3 pm.
