INVASIVE VEGETATION SPECIALISTS

Invasive vegetation refers to non-native plants that have been introduced to the UK and are rapidly spreading, causing harm to native species and the ecosystem.

Most notably, these plants are extremely prevalent within and along the UK railway systems where passing rail traffic creates a wind tunnel for them to spread. The most identified species are Japanese knotweed, Giant hogweed, Buddleia and Himalayan balsam.

Why these plants need to be managed?

Some invasive plants produce toxins that are harmful to both humans and animals. Invasive vegetation plants can outcompete native plants for resources, alter soil chemistry and provide habitat for invasive animal species. It can also reduce crop yields and clog waterways.
