Local volunteers have begun the annual task of removing Himalayan Balsam from the banks of the River Roding.
“It’s an invasive species that spreads rapidly, and with its lethal combination of a large leaf canopy and small roots, it quickly outcompetes native species whilst also weakening the river bank. The seeds pop and spray far and wide, so we need to extract as much as we can right now before it begins to flower. Get in touch if you’d like to help,” said Derek Seume from Friends of the River Roding.
