Invasive non-native species (INNS) pose a threat to ecosystems, outcompeting native plants and animals.
Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) lists 139 non-native species impacting native wildlife and habitats such as Japanese Knotweed, Himalayan Balsam, Signal Crayfish and Edible Dormouse.
Invasive species often have complex survival strategies that native species have no evolutionary blueprint to deal with. We offer specialist experience and advice to give you peace of mind when dealing with invasives on your site. We can assist with the careful removal of these species and train your contractors in identification and removal.
Our GIS team produce maps to show the distribution and spread of invasive species and we follow strict biosecurity measures to ensure that we do not cause further spread between sites.
