Knotweed campaign in Whiting Bay?

Juliette Walsh suggests in a Facebook message that people might like to form a Japanese Knotweed working party to help eradicate the pest from ‘our beloved Whiting Bay’. Certainly the big weed with the hollow stems continues to wave its big leaves and bitty flowers around in countless places where it still has a stranglehold. As Juliette says, ‘It would be a case of lopping, digging and burning… how about a mid-week group?’ A grant from Earth Action is available for the purchase of loppers, but not until a recognised group is up and running. Look at the Whiting Bay Improvements Facebook page – or it that’s not you, send a message to info@voiceforarran.com and we will pass it on to Juliette. Gloves on, sleeves rolled up!
