Most GoodGymmers must be acquainted with Himalayan Balsam, the invasive non-indigenous plant infamous for colonising riverbanks througput the UK. I'm sure many GoodGym hours have been spent pulling the stalks to help prevent the seemingly relentless spread of the species.

Well thanks to GoodGym Huddersfield there is a little less Balsam along the River Colne today. Working with Greenstreams, Louise Galvin and myself spent a very satisfying couple of hours balsam bashing and branch lopping in order to keep the Riverside Way accessible.
