SUMMARY:Volunteer opportunity to remove invasive Garden Lady’s-mantle
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a practical day to help dig up and remove invasive Garden Lady’s-mantle (Alchemilla mollis) from an area around an Upper Teesdale beck. \nThis area of Upper Teesdale in the North Pennines National Landscape is especially important for the population of rare native plants that are found there. If the Garden Lady’s-mantle is left to set seed\, it poses a risk of spreading to further sites and possibly out competing and replacing the important native plant communities. \nThis activity requires a good level of fitness as well as the ability to navigate uneven terrain. Training will be given on the morning of the event. \nExact location will be sent 48 hours prior to the event. Suitable for all ages; children must be supervised by an adult. \nPlease sign up using the Better Impact volunteer platform. \n \n  \n
