Don Catchment Rivers Trust

Join DCRT at Priory Farm in Renishaw to do some Himalayan balsam removal & build leaky barriers across the brook to slow flood flows

Renishaw

PLEASE NOTE: This event is weather dependent as the site floods. If it has been or is forecast to be wet, we may need to postpone. We will contact you if this is the case. Join the Don Catchment Rivers Trust at Priory Farm in Renishaw to build leaky barriers across the brook and floodplain to slow flows. There is a lot of Himalayan balsam at the site and it may be that we need to do some clearance of it before being able to build the leaky barriers. We will send an update of the days activities closer to the time but we'll hopefully be able to do both Balsam bashing and leaky barrier building!Spaces are limited so please book on to this event using the link below. Task: Removing Himalayan balsam and creating leaky barriers using hand tools (e.g. hand saws, loppers, maul) and lifting aids (e.g. timber tongs and log lifters) to prepare, move and fix logs into position. When: Tuesday 13th May, 10am-1pm Where: Priory Farm woodlands (off Barbers Row), RenishawWhat 3 Words: ///music.form.informGoogle Maps Pin: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bPbcpqSzg5hmw5Kj9 What to bring: We provide all of the equipment on the day but please wear suitable clothing for outdoor work including long sleeves and trousers that you don’t mind getting muddy!
