🌺 Quick tutorial on how to balsam bash!

Remember:

⭐ All balsam should be piled up away from the paths
⭐ Make sure you snap below the node
⭐ Give it a good stamp!

Some pics of our balsam bashing today! Made a good start of clearing - still a lot more to go! 🌺

🌺 BALSAM BASHING 🌺

We will be starting our baslam bashing tomorrow at 1pm, meeting at the main bridge by the UU works.

We will also be meeting at 10am on Wednesday!

Balsam is an invasive species of plants that came here during the Victorian era. It travels in water and therefore unfortunately Chaddy Fields is unlucky to have a significant amount of it.

However - getting rid of it is easy! It's very shallow in its roots so all you have to do is pull it up - snap it at its root and stamp on it.

It's a great activity for kids - and very addictive for adults.

We will be holding events most Wednesdays and Saturdays so we can show anyone interested how to clear balsam.
