IDENTIFICATION
Did you spot something that you think might be an invasive plant? Use our FREE identification service to quickly find out.
Invasive plants need to be controlled or removed, if left unchecked they will take over. We control these invasive plant species, keeping residential and commercial land and property infestation free.
Legislation and government directives place a growing emphasis to control the spread of invasive plants in the UK. As a result, we are seeing increasing requirements for other invasive weed control work, or INNS control.
There are many plants which are known to be invasive. These include Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) that have been introduced from other countries and can spread, causing damage to the environment, the economy, our health, and the way we live.
Certain of these species are listed in Section 14, Schedule 9, part II of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. In the main, it lists species that are already established in the wild, but which continue to pose a conservation threat to native biodiversity and habitats.
Others are listed under the Weed Act 1959 as ‘injurious weeds’.
Bamboo may look serene, but in the UK, it’s a challenging plant to manage. Learn how year-round bamboo management prevents property damage, protects ecosystems, and keeps gardens thriving.
Bamboo canes can get very large if left to grow. In this article we explain the new legislation around Bamboo and why removing it is important.
