It's balsam bashing season 🌿 🌸 Himalayan Balsam is a pesky invasive plant. Whilst pretty, it can cause havoc in woodlands with each plant able to produce up to 800 seeds per year. Live near #Drumnadrochit? Join the gang at #UrquhartBay this Saturday & get bashing 👇

Do you have knowledge or expertise in taxonomic groups found in the UK’s uplands? I’m looking for naturalists to contribute to autecological analysis as part of a #biodiversity audit assessing impacts of land-use change across eight of northern England’s protected landscapes 1/4
A photograph of an upland landscape in northern England with text over it. Title reads: “Expert input needed for multi-taxa biodiversity research project across northern England’s uplands”. Subtitle reads: “Species, habitat or regional specialists please contact franky.rogers@uea.ac.uk”. Logos for the University of East Anglia, RSPB and ARIES DTP in the top right corner.
