Got some spare time? Come along and bash some balsam! The more people help out the more balsam we can get rid of.

Fancy hanging out with some of Brecon’s most mysterious night shift workers? 🦇
The Vincent Wildlife Trust is looking for volunteers to help with bat counts this June — no experience needed, just a willingness to stay up a bit later than the bats probably prefer.
Training provided, wildlife guaranteed, Batman jokes optional.

The first balsam bash will commence from 6pm (for an hour) on Tuesday 2 June and run every Tuesday until August. Meet outside the boathouse. It is advisable to wear long sleeves and trousers as balsam has a habit of growing in amongst nettles, brambles and anything else unpleasant.

This weekend some geocaches will be placed in the Groves and at the Prom with permission from Powys CC. Geocaching is a world-wide 'treasure hunt 'type activity, which is enjoyed by all ages and encourages people to get outside and appreciate the areas around them. All details are on www.geocaching.com and the activity is responsibly managed. In the unlikely event you accidently find one of these caches (usually a small box with a paper 'log book' ) please replace it where you found it. Thanks!
There is a Geocaching event based in Brecon over the weekend and the organisers have kindly arranged a litter pick at the Prom on Monday 3rd 10-11 am, so many thanks to them

There are millions of geocaches worldwide, just waiting for you to find them. There are probably even some within walking distance of where you are right now. Visit Geocaching.com to see just how many geocaches are nearby and to learn how to start finding them.
