CORPORATE social responsibility volunteers from Johnson Service Group joined the Whitchurch Conservation Group (WCG) to help clean up the area surrounding a river.

The group removed a sizable quantity of invasive Himalayan balsam from the water-meadows surrounding the River Test.

This operation, which took place in Whitchurch, was a combined effort to clean up the local environment.

WCG chair Lucie Follett Maitland, said: "We are very grateful to Johnson Service Group for their help; we couldn’t have done this without them."
