There was a heavy shower early in the morning but the day brightened so we went ahead with our planned session while taking a little more care on the riverbanks and in the wet undergrowth. Four volunteers turned up and we started at Meadow Mead where there was some balsam visible and a lot more in the undergrowth and on the river bank.

After clearing that we moved on to Parsonage Bridge where there was a large clump on the east bank. We were able to access it both through the undergrowth along Meadow Mead and by wading across from the opposite bank although a large fallen branch across the river has made access a bit more difficult.

We also cleared some of the balsam growing along Glebelands where there were signs that other people had been pulling balsam as they walked along the river.
