Plant Positive – Invasive Non- Native Species Removal

Plant Positive has been removing Invasive Non Native Species from the Island’s water-courses for the last eight years. Our current activity is co-ordinated through Natural Enterprise and funded by Down To The Coast. As well as our Japanese Knotweed control and Himalayan Balsam team there are a number of other volunteer groups, organisations and businesses who contribute to the project.

We produce a yearly report which summarises activity but you may like to look at our Interactive Map below or view photos of our hard working volunteers in our gallery. The map dates to 2018.
