Brockholes Balsam Busters
Available from 20 May 2025 to 1 September 2025
Did you know that the non-native plant Himalayan Balsam is stopping our native plant species from growing in the wild?
We are calling on nature lovers, who are looking for an outdoor, practical volunteering role to join our Balsam Busters Group at Brockholes and help us to rid the reserve of this invasive species.
It’s a great opportunity to meet like-minded people, learn more about habitat management and develop your species identification skills.
No previous experience is needed, just an eagerness to get stuck in whatever the weather and attend at least two of the session dates below from 9.30am to 12.30pm.
20/21/22 May 3/4/5 June 17/18/19 June 1/2/3 July 15/16/17 July 29/30/31 July
The role will end at the end of August as the Balsam sets seed.
