1. Public Engagement - Himalayan Balsam pulling - Rotherlands Nature Reserve
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 31st May 10.00-12.00 - Rotherlands Nature Reserve. Please arrive at 9.50 for a 10.00 am start.
Meet: Petersfield Leisure Centre Car Park, Penns Place, Petersfield.
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.
