Welcome to Harlaston
Call for volunteers to become River Mease River Wardens
River Mease River Wardens
Trent Rivers Trust (TRT) are looking for volunteers to become River Wardens along the River Mease SSSI. The invasive species Himalayan Balsam has been widespread among the banks of the river in recent years. It out competes the native flora of the bank side resulting in poor species diversity and increased erosion risk. It can spread very quickly, particularly along rivers and watercourses. TRT have removed large areas of Himalayan Balsam in recent years but now need help to locate any future plants and remove them.
River Wardens will be introduced to landowners and allocated their own stretch of river to observe and monitor any changes, note wildlife and remove Himalayan Balsam. Training and support will be provided by TRT.
Important note: You must always have permission from the landowner before walking along a river bank and only remove plants if it is safe to do so.
If you are interested please contact Alan Graham |

Mease Valley Quiz
About 84 contestants attended the Quiz in Harlaston Village Hall on 21st March and it raised a profit of £1,014.58 which will go towards keeping the hall hire charge as low as possible or maybe towards the latest project of providing a new kitchen and new Hall entrance. Many thanks to Mary Grice for setting the questions and running the quiz. Also thanks to all the helpers, getting the room ready, preparing the food, keeping the scores, serving the drinks, washing up and clearing up after the event, in fact everybody who helped in any way. Congratulations to team "Another glass of wine" -Alistair and Joanne Riches with friends, they were this years winners |
