Wednesday 25th June 2025 - Newclose County Cricket Ground GG #1036

This week we returned to Newclose County Cricket Ground for the third time this year, albeit the first time pulling the annual favourite, Himalayan Balsam.  We were working in the woodland to the west of the cricket ground and adjacent to the Merstone Stream.  The undergrowth amongst the trees was lush and rampant, with the ground muddy underfoot.  Working downstream we found quite a few stands of HB and there was plenty to keep us busy.  Some of the team worked along the Merstone Stream.  We will be returning to this site over the next few months.

Thank you to Terry for the photos, and to Newclose Cricket Ground for kindly providing refreshments.
