Hi everyone,
Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Rathcormac on Saturday.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather, and thanks to everyone’s hard work, we removed an estimated 5,000–7,000 Himalayan Balsam plants from the site. It’s a fantastic achievement and another big step towards bringing this infestation under control.
There is still plenty more to do in Rathcormac over the coming weeks, but every plant removed before it sets seed makes a real difference to our rivers, wildlife and native habitats. We’ll most likely be returning to the site on alternative weeks until we’ve got the area under control.
For anyone who couldn’t make it, don’t worry—we’ve got plenty more opportunities to get involved over the coming weeks!
