Volunteering - April 2015

Holyrood Park

Our role on this visit was to uproot Himalayan Balsam which was generally about 2cm high, so back breaking work.  The weather was kind and Lily the Ranger gave us a bit of a historical tour on the way back to the Education Centre.  The photos below give a snapshot of the afternoon.
