When it comes to non-native species, everyone can play a part in reducing or even preventing their impacts on native biodiversity and ecosystems. This event was outside of Norfolk but is a good example of the whole community coming together. https://t.co/8iMAlMX6tF
The #Wensumbalsam project surveys have so far identified these areas as hotspots for #Himalayanbalsam 👇
The black boxes highlight target areas for balsam bashes this summer.
Please keep your eyes peeled & continue to report your sightings... it's getting easier to spot! 👀

It costs a lot of money to control non-native species and by far the cheapest (and most successful) action to take, is to prevent them from establishing in the wild in the first place.
Garden escapees are one of the main ways that non-native species become invasive. Here is a guide to some native species which you can use to replace potentially invasive ones. #invasivespecies https://t.co/ojOdPXuMr1
We will be looking for volunteers to come along and help out at future bashes. Its an easy and free way to have a real impact towards protecting local biodiversity
First bash of the season completed #Wensumbalsam! 👌
Ourselves & @NorfolkNNSI worked with the wonderful @TCVtweets to remove #Himalayanbalsam from it's uppermost known location in the Wensum catchment.
With thanks to @Wensumfarmers for reporting your sightings ✅
Invasive species travel with you… wherever you go!
They can cause real problems for boating, from restricting navigation, blocking waterways, to clogging up propellers and spreading disease.
Remember: Check - Clean - Dry
