Merser Rivers Trust and Groundwork will be hosting a balsam bash on the Micker Brook in Cheadle, meeting at Shiers Drive car park next to Brookfields Park at 11am on Saturday 19th June. Join us to learn more about invasive, non-native species (INNS) and to help reduce their spread along the Micker Brook and the surrounding area.
