The 2nd Great Stainton Balsam Bash - July
About
Join PACT in pulling out invasive Himalayan Balsam along the River Eamont, near Stainton. Please use what3words trickster.joked.amplifier to find the meeting place (where the footpath to the river joins the A592). There is very limited parking ONLY on the lay-by next to the footpath so please arrive by bus at Rheged (a short walk) or lift-share, if possible.Do not obstruct the lay-by opposite!
We will meet in the lay-by there at 10am. Please make sure to wear protective clothing (i.e. gloves, long sleeves, trousers and sturdy boots - also maybe a raincoat!). We strongly recommend sturdy, waterproof gloves as there may be plants present that can be irritants/cause a reaction.
Bring a packed lunch and PACT will provide cake!
