CMBCC Footpath Group Volunteering & Balsam Bashing – Pittengullies Brae to Milltimber Brae
2026-07-27 10:00 - 13:00 (Europe/London) | Pittengullies Brae, Pittengullies Brae, Peterculter, AB14 0QS, United Kingdom
The CBMCC Footpath Group helps to promote, maintain, and enhance local footpaths. There are a number of volunteer working sessions throughout this year, and we would love it if local residents could help with cutting back overgrown vegetation and invasive species, such as Himalayan Balsam, and doing some path maintenance. The Footpath Group has a selection of hand tools for volunteers to use on these tasks, or you can bring your own.

Himalayan Balsam is an invasive non-native species that colonises riverbanks to the detriment of our local flora and pollinators. It can be eradicated with persistent and coordinated action to remove it. Removal is easy and can be done by anyone.

Several of the CBMCC Footpath Group sessions will include Himalayan Balsam Bashing in conjunction with path maintenance. On these days volunteers will be given training on plant identification, how to remove the plant, and advice on staying safe while carrying out this work. The hope is that small groups will adopt sections of the riverbank to visit regularly.
The scheduled sessions start at 10am and last for three hours, but any time you can give when available would be much appreciated.

If you are keen to help to enhance our local paths, please email your details to: footpathgroup@cbmcommunity.org.uk, and we’ll add you to our email list to update you with any changes or ad-hoc tasks.

The Community Council welcomes volunteers of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and Individuals who have additional support needs must be accompanied by a responsible adult. The Volunteers who run the outdoor volunteering activities are not qualified or insured to assist with children under 16 or individuals with additional support needs. If you intend to come along to an activity with someone who falls under these categories, please contact the named activity leader ahead of the event to make them aware.
