🌿 Balsam Bashing at Hardcastle Crags 🌿

Join us for a satisfying morning of tackling Himalayan Balsam in the beautiful surroundings of Hardcastle Crags.

🗓 09:30am - 12.30pm

📍 Meet at the Midgehole car park (2-1 Midgehole Rd, Hebden Bridge HX7 7AL)

👟 Sturdy footwear, long sleeves, long trousers – no shorts please! We'll be in the undergrowth where ticks and bugs live.

✨ First time? No problem! We'll show you the ropes

Let’s get stuck in and get rid of those pesky invasive species that wreak havoc, they outcompete native plants then die back in winter leaving riverbanks and valley sides exposed and bare. This means rain water flows faster over these surfaces increasing the likelihood of soil erosion, landslides and the risk of flooding.

Everyone’s welcome – see you there! 💪🌱
