24-05-11 Balsam bashing season!

Hunters Pond
Shoulder high- and
a tall specimen!

On 21 May the Trust's team of volunteers including Tower House School linked up once again with Ham and Petersham Association, and attacked the Himalayan Balsam that annually encroaches on the native plants along the riverside. The beautiful Hunter's Pond under the timber footbridge to Ham House was cleared of all the juicy invaders, allowing the loosestrife and reeds to thrive!
