Invasive species

The Wiltshire Wildlife Trust are trying to highlight the issues the county faces with invasive non-native species (INNS). Please see the image of the three main plants that can cause issues and how to identify them.

If you see any in Holt then please upload information onto https://innsmapper.org/home which is also available in a mobile App. This information helps map the extent of these plants and helps the WWT plan to treat/remove them.

These INNS not only effect the environment by outcompeting native flora, but they can also impose huge economic burdens. The Wiltshire Wildlife Trust can provide advice on dealing with INNS and sometimes provide treatment. These plants usually raise their heads in the spring months, and continue to grow throughout  the year.
