Steve and I spent a couple of weeks in July and August (2007) clearing between the inner drain and up the flat in the far field. Sadly in late August we noticed an area missed in July and left a small patch.

Spent the best part of a two weeks clearing the western 80 metres of marsh.

Previously I have only notice Himalyan Balsam at the inner edge some 30 x 30 metres. This year there was a swathe running some extra 50 west and the full depth of the marsh in places. As they were noticed late and I was off for a few days due to an accident, many poped their seeds. Finished 8th September. Must start early August 2008.
