Managing invasive species is vital to protecting our environment. It's also important to record and share INNS management data as well as sitings, to support all of our efforts to tackle INNS effectively. Use innsmapper.org to record management activity. @InvasivesSp
Be plant wise! - Planning on picking some wild garlic this spring? make sure you pick the right one or you could accidentally spread invasive non-native plants in our woodlands @InvasiveSp @ecology_ncl @NE_Northumbria @tweed_forum @EnvAgencyYNE @LIFEprogramme #INNSweek
Be Plant Wise! - Invasive plant removal in action today at Druridge Bay, Northumberland with @coast_care @ecology_ncl @InvasiveSp @LIFEprogramme
