Meeting place: Applecross entrance, next to Scottish Canals HQ

What is involved

Balsam Bashing involves cutting or pulling up the plant below the lowest root nodule before they can go to seed. If cutting, important to break the root so the Balsam can’t reseed.

What you need

Sturdy footwear (wellies or boots) and clothes you don’t mind roughing it up in.

 We will provide the following:
• A yellow vest and gloves.
• Spades and secateurs to bash balsam
• Tea and refreshments
