I went for a stroll from Nightingale’s Bridge to Cogmill to assess the balsam situation after our activities in June. On the mud banks at the bridge there were a few balsam which I cleared but upstream there were some large clumps on the riverbanks and low down near the river which were difficult to access without waders or slashers.
Along Glebelands there were a few plants some of which I was able to clear from amongst the nettles. There were some large clumps on the other side of the river which we’d previously not been able to access but may be possible with the river level as low as it is currently.
Further upstream, there were a few plants at Black Rocks and I think I could see a few further upstream on the far bank and the little islands.
