It took ten of us young and old together to effect a miracle of regeneration tonight as the youth group had its annual Balsam Bash. We've been doing this for five years, knocking back the vegetation, the invasive balsam and knotweed to give our native species a chance. It's finally beginning to make a difference. We now have, though most of the village don't realise yet the beginnings of a beautiful mini water meadow.
I should have said that it's also great fun especially since some of the more adventurous members decided to remove bikes and debry from the river...
There is a hidden purpose in this, it's my dream that as more people discover this little strip of nature more will come to love it and in the end rather than turning our backs to it...
It won't be long before we are holding our fly fishing competition... Seriously.
