Summary
One of our work parties that cover the harleston area are looking for some willing volunteers to help control Himalayan Balsam at Suffolk Aviation MuseumDetailed description
One of our work parties that cover the harleston area are looking for some willing volunteers to help control Suffolk Aviation Museum near Harleston.
As Himilyan Balsam is an invasive plant and therefore has no natural processes to keep it in check, the damage it can do to both our native flora and fauna can be devastating. It's removal can both benefit it from overtaking an are where it is removed but also prevent it from spreading further downstream.
This is a fairly physical activity and will require working around or next to water so please bare that in mind.
Work Parties will be beginning on Monday the 11th but will be ongoing for a few weeks.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope some of you may be interested
About River Waveney Trust
Proud to be part of the Rivers Trust movement, we are one of 61 local river trusts across the UK and Ireland.
We work in collaboration with a wide range of partners including government agencies and other organisations, individuals and local community groups with the aim of delivering a catchment based and integrated approach to managing the River Waveney and the surrounding land. Working in partnership is essential to enable us to deliver effective environmental projects in our river and its catchment.
Volunteers are essential to us, they support our project work through citizen science projects and carry out practical conservation work in the catchment. We have two local volunteer groups who meet regularly and manage sites along the river for all to enjoy, including Frenze Beck in Diss, a 14 acre County Wildlife Site.
