1. Public Engagement - Himalayan Balsam pulling - Goodyer Meadow
Eco Rother Action and PeCAN are seeking volunteers to help with Himalayan Balsam pulling along our local waterways. Himalayan Balsam is an invasive plant species threatening our rivers. This weed tends to shade out other native species and when it dies back leaves waterway banks bare and vulnerable to erosion.
Saturday 7 June 14.00-16.00 - Goodyer Meadow.
Parking: Heath Carpark Sussex Road, or on street parking Heath Road West
Meet: For those parking in the Heath Carpark, a group will meet there at 13.50 and walk across to Goodyer Meadows together. Alternative meeting spot will be at Goodyer Meadows viewing platform at 14.00
What to Bring: drinking water, hat, sunscreen, gardening gloves, weather appropriate clothes and sturdy shoes/walking boots. We recommend wearing long-sleeved tops and full-length trousers.
