Local Assembly Member Paul Davies recently visited Poppit Sands with the Minister for Natural Resources Carl Sargeant AM and fellow Assembly Member Jocelyn Davies to meet with volunteers who have been working to tackle Himalayan balsam in the local area.

Mr Davies said, “I was delighted to visit Poppit Sands with my Assembly colleagues to see first-hand the work done by volunteers, who have been working hard to fight the spread of Himalayan balsam. It’s great to see such community cohesion, where local people have come together to protect the local environment. I thoroughly congratulate the volunteers, who have done a wonderful job and moving forward, I hope that the Welsh Government works with partners and voluntary groups in Pembrokeshire and around Wales to help tackle Himalayan balsam in the future.”
