July 26 2026 South Downs Youth Action Day Pulborough Brooks with the RSPB
Help keep the bird reserve free of invasive plants with us for a day of Himalayan Balsam pulling at RSPB Pulborough Brooks. Although a beautiful plant, Himalayan Balsam is spreading along our rivers and preventing our native British plants from growing. As the plant is shallow rooted, the best way to remove it is by pulling it out of the ground and placing it in piles to decompose.
