Moments before the cut, bees & hoverflies dance around the flowerheads as further along the bank the metal dragon churns up the wet grass & wipes out the minuscule communities that shelter within its depths. Nonsense management. Environment Agency #ColwickPark #destruction

The water storing capabilities of #HimalyanBalsam is astounding. Very satisfying to watch it glug glug glug immediately after pulling. No more need for plastic water bottles, just arm yourself with a balsam plant or two 🤣🤣 #invasivespecies
