You are welcome to join the friendly volunteers in the Gunpowder Mills on June 11 from 10.30am. With two activities to choose from, this is an activity that is suitable for families. The Himalayan Balsam, though very pretty is spreading all over our river banks. It’s easy to pull out – just bring some protective gloves.

Or work is supervised by our Countryside Wardens Nick and Alison, who provide any tools we need – and refreshments and cake!

It’s very free and easy. Just come to the picnic area in the Gunpowder Mills at the bottom of Vera’s Path and join in for as long or as short a time as you can spare – it all helps and keeps our lovely countryside clear.
