Balsam Bashing

Booking essential,

Help us to preserve the stunning wildlife along the banks of the river Glaslyn by clearing invasive Himalayan balsam at Hafod y Llyn. Himalayan balsam is an aggressive, non-native plant. Dense stands suffocate other plants, pushing out native plant communities, and when it dies back in winter it leaves bare river banks which are more vulnerable to erosion. Himalayan balsam also produces copious amounts of nectar which attracts pollinators away from native plants.
