Himalayan balsam is an invasive non native plant which thrives near rivers and can take over, displacing other species. Charlotte at Local charity Don Catchment River Trust has organised a few sessions to remove this plant from the Moss Valley before it sets seeds. GoodGymer celine joined Charlotte and fellow volunteers Ollie and Matts for a good old bash, ripping the balsam from the roots a d snappinv the plant before its first nodule to ensure it doesn’t survive. we got a break in the drizzly weather, the river was babbling and the pastures were gorgeous; i even spotted a buzzard over the fields!
