We returned again for our penultimate bash with our Friends of Berrylands Nature Reserve. Although lower in number, we still managed to clear large areas of Balsam. This time we were joined by Jane as well as Caroline and Rob. Nettles did not deter us once again as we endured the pricks and stings to reach the balsam that needed to be pulled and popped. Once we found our patch we quickly got stuck in and began pulling, popping and snapping the stems and threw them onto their mounds. Our tea, coffee and biscuits break was well earned! We’re looking forward to clearing another section next week for our final session before the seeds begin to disperse. See you there – same time, same place!
