🌸 Help tackle Himalayan balsam in the Upper West Onny Valley!

From 10th July onwards, local volunteers will be heading out across the Upper West Onny Valley near Bishops Castle to remove Himalayan balsam from rivers, streams and wetland areas.

Himalayan balsam is an invasive plant that spreads rapidly, crowds out native species and can leave riverbanks vulnerable to erosion when it dies back each winter.

We’re looking for more volunteers to get involved. No experience is needed and training will be provided by the Upper Onny Invasive Plants Project team.

📍 Upper West Onny Valley, near Bishops Castle
📅 From 10th July onwards
🌿 Help remove invasive Himalayan balsam
🤝 Training provided

From newly created wetland scrapes to ponds already holding water, these aerial photos show just some of the natural flood management work taking shape across the Rea Brook catchment.

Working with local landowners, we’ve now:
🌳 Planted more than 3 hectares of native woodland.
💧 Created over 5 hectares of wetland habitat.
🪵 Installed around 70 leaky dams to help slow the flow.

By holding water higher up in the landscape, projects like these can help reduce flood risk downstream while creating valuable habitat for wildlife at the same time.
