Join Tyne Rivers Trust volunteers at Gibside for a day of Himalyan balsam bashing, helping to slow down the spread of this invasive, non-native species.

Meet in the main Gibside car park at 10.30 am.  Please wear suitable clothing and footwear – balsam tends to grow alongside nettles so trousers and long sleeves, with good boots or wellies are advised.  Bring a packed lunch and a drink, all equipment and training will be provided.
