Call to volunteers in Scotland to pull out the #InvasiveALienSpecies of Union concern #ImpatiensGlandulifera, aka #HimalayanBalsam, which massive growth along rivers causes problems to wildlife!!!
Join us as we tackle Himalayan balsam on the River Ythan! This plant may look harmless but it causes serious problems for our wildlife. It's a prolific INNS which grows in dense stands, shading out native plants & impacting the pollinators and wildlife that depend on them. 🪻🦋🌳
