Join us to celebrate Mersey Rivers Week by tackling Himalayan Balsam to prevent it's spread on the beautiful Tatton Park estate!

No previous experience is required!

This work party will run from 10am - 12:30pm. We will be meeting at the Old Hall car park (what3words: ///stud.throw.tungsten or grid reference: SJ 75565/80869). Work will involve hand pulling of balsam plants to prevent it from going to seed and spreading further. Full training will be provided.

The session is outdoors so make sure you have waterproofs and sun protection as needed. Bring plenty of food and water to keep you going, and your own work gloves if you have them (we will have gloves for you to borrow if you don't have your own). Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and sturdy footwear. Long trousers and long sleeves are advised to protect your arms and legs, as balsam often grows alongside nettles and brambles!
