Volunteer to weed out at the lake

The Association Pour La Sauvegarde du Leman needs help on Friday 17th October from 8:30am to 12 noon at Port Choiseul, Versoix.  They are once again looking for volunteers to clear the shores of our beautiful lake of Asian Knotweed.  This plant is an invasive foreign species which can grow up to 8cm a day and chokes out our indigenous plants.  It is a wonderful opportunity to do something really worthwhile outside in the fresh air.  

Initially this activity will be open only to members but as it is taking place during the school holidays it will be opened up to children, friends and family if places remain available after October 1st.    

Please bear in mind that you will be working along the lake shore/ immediately next to the lake and so good balance is important. Solid shoes and clothing suitable for gardening incl a hat are recommended.  If you have them, water shoes may be useful.  

We will meet at Gare Cornavin and take the train together to Versoix. Port Choiseul is approximately a 10 minutes walk from the station. I will finalise and distribute the train times and arrangements for meeting the group in Versoix once I have received the final information pack from Robin at the ASL.  

If you have any questions please contact Belinda at aiwcvolservices@gmail.com or Tel 076 509 65 78.
