Is Himalayan Balsam invading your territory?
Caradon Hill Area Heritage Project are holding a Himalayan Balsam ìAlien Invadersî information launch day on:Tuesday 14th May 2013, 11:00 to 15:00 Siblyback Lake, Commonmoor, Liskeard.
Anyone interested is welcome to come along for the launch by South West Lakes Trust. You will be able to chat to representatives from South West Lakes Trust; Westcountry Rivers Trust; Environment Agency; Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Cornwall Council, for information and advice on how we are able to work together to tackle this menace.
Himalayan Balsam, although very pretty, is a growing problem in the area. Our native flora is being lost, especially along the river banks, and the lack of winter vegetation is causing soil erosion and increasing the risk of flooding. This is a free event supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Lunch time refreshments will be provided.
Make a Willow Wigwam Plant Support - Linkinhorne Parish Hall, Upton Cross, Saturday 11th May, 9:30am - 4:30pm - booking essential.
