Big Balsam Bash - Tirpentwys LNR

Learn about Himalayan Balsam, help protect our river, waterways and green spaces, and get involved in balsam pulling this summer

Join us at Tirpentwys Local Nature Reserve, for a hands-on volunteering session to help tackle Himalayan balsam, an invasive plant that spreads rapidly along our rivers and waterways and crowds out native wildlife.

We’ll be working together to remove balsam helping to restore space for native plants and protect local habitats.

We'll be meeting at the Tirpentwys Local Nature Reserve carpark at 10am.

No experience is needed – full guidance will be provided, and everyone is welcome.

What to bring

• Sturdy footwear
• Weather-appropriate clothing
• Water and a snack
• Suncream and a hat if it's going to hot
