Terry's Photographs.
Surveying the pond area..we need to get back here
to do some work!
Huge swathes of pink.
Most people stand on the stream banks, NOT in it 😀
This gives an idea of just how tall HB grows.
Tea time and a team talk.
Me, taking a photo (see Bob's Photos below)
One of the many piles of pulled HB.
Perhaps we should run a "spot the person" competition?
More evidence of our labours.

A "before and after shot"of just one area we worked on.
Team GG's battle to try and eradicate Himalayan Balsam from Merstone Stream (to the south of Newport) continued into another session and this week it was even further down the valley. Because the plants are getting close to the point where the seed pods go POP, we have worked hard to remove as much as possible.... hopefully reducing the workload for future years. Although the session started in misty rain, it soon dried out but not exactly a sunny summer's day!
Having struggled, week after week, with this notoriously pesky plant, I think everyone deserves a huge pat on the back for their efforts WELL DONE 👏.Mark did suggest various options for next week's session but he still has to finalise the exact details so please keep an eye on your e-mail in tray.
Many thanks to Terry and Mark for the excellent photographs this week.
