We have been working with farmers and community members to control the invasive species Himalayan Balsam from the banks of the River Mease. This has resulted in a greatly reduced abundance of Himalayan Balsam providing an opportunity for the native river vegetation to recover from this dominating plant. To read the latest newsletter please click on the link to the right of the page on the Project web site url link provided above. We are continuing to raise awareness of the River Mease through attending country fairs and shows in the catchment. This has provided the opportunity to chat to residents about their special river, places to access it and how to care for its future. The invasive species Himalayan Balsam has been widespread among the banks of the river in recent years. It out competes the native flora of the bank side resulting in poor species diversity and increased erosion risk. It can spread very quickly, particularly along rivers and watercourses.
