We loved having DPD UK join us at Dimmingsdale recently to help pull Himalayan Balsam – an invasive species that pushes out native plants unless dealt with at volunteering sessions like these. Our long-term partnership has seen DPD UK support the planting of thousands of trees at forests around the country.
