Proud to support this community effort from 🌿

Himalayan balsam might look pretty, but it spreads quickly, pushes out native plants and can damage riverbanks.

That's why volunteers are getting together for The Big Barney Balsam Bash on the banks of the Tees.

📅 Monday 22 June
⏰ 10am–2pm (drop in for as much time as you can spare)
📍 Meet at Eggleston Abbey

No experience needed and all equipment is provided. See poster for details. 💚
