Invasive Alien Plants Day

A seminar for partnership members was held in May 2010 in Guildford. Members of CABI talked to us about a range of Invasive Alien plants. The day included a walk along the Wey to look at local IAs and interesting discussions on control methods. The event received a lot of positive feedback and people felt reassured regarding the work done and the safety of the psyllid being being trialled as a biological control in Spring and due to be released in July 2010 to contend with Japanese Knotweed.

We will hold another event to look at Invasive Alien plants concentrating on Crassula helmsii

Website training sessions for partnership members:

Want to share your project successes or to work on a shared revision document? Training days for partnership members to learn how to use the website to communicate publicly, or privately within a working group, can be arranged.
