The Leitrim Environmental Network invites you to their:

BALSAM BASHING WORKSHOP
Ballinaglera Community Hall, N41 A2N8
Sunday 23 June from 11am - 3pm

This is a training workshop for anyone interested in learning how to identify and destroy the high impact invasive species ‘Himalayan Balsam’ that is increasing its presence in Leitrim.

Shailagh Healy from Woodland Wonders will give a talk about Himalayan Balsam in the morning session, covering how to recognise it, how to pull it out and the follow-up requirements to make sure the plants have dried and died. The afternoon session will be outdoors and actively pulling out balsam. Come with gloves and sturdy boots. Please bring your own lunch or dish for sharing. This is a voluntary group led workshop.

This workshop is made possible with the support of Leitrim County Council / NPWS / The Heritage Council and Geai Ireland
