#  Great Weather for Clearing Himalayan Balsam!

  ![Image of  Great Weather for Clearing Himalayan Balsam!](https://files.schudio.com/ststephenskm/images/blog/Balsam.jpg)  7 July 2016   [Head Teacher's Blog](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/category/head-teacher-s-blog)

I'm joining Year 6 for the day for a bit of conservation work. We are going up to the Gravel Pits at Moses Gate to help clear areas that have become overgrown with Himalayan Balsam (see picture). As it's typical July weather we'll be in waterproofs and wellies!
