Getting there

For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!

    About this session

    Join Katherine from the Wildlife Trust at this session to remove invasive Himalayan Balsam plants from the riverbanks and make space for native species. This will help preserve the precious chalk stream habitat.

    The team are meeting in Lewsey Sports Centre car park at 10am and will then go down to work by the river at the bottom of the hill so if you're running late you will hopefully find them there.

    The area you'll be working in has a lot of stinging nettles so long trousers and sleeves will be best.

    This task supports

    The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire
