What are ‘invasive weeds’, and why are they a problem?

Invasive weeds ‘are either native plant species that grow well in disturbed or nutrient-enriched conditions, to the detriment of other plant and animal species, or non-native plants that have been introduced to this country by accident or as a consequence of trade or deliberate collection. The latter tend to grow in situations where native plants of similar form do not’. Extract taken from an Environment Agency leaflet entitled Managing Invasive Non-native Plants

Non-native plants cause more damage than native plants they are also more difficult to eradicate.

When non-native invasive plants become established they can have cause serious damage to the ecosystem such as flooding, threaten or endanger native species.

How many non-native plants are there currently in the UK?

Currently there are 7 non-native plants listed by the Environment Agency, these are:

Japanese knotweed, Giant Hogweed, Himalayan Balsam, Australian Swamp Stonecrop, Parrot’s Feather, Floating Pennywort and Creeping Water Primrose,

What is included in an Invasive Weed Report?

You will need to discuss your requirements with the contractor you have chosen but usually the report would involve a site visit, identify the plant, assess the damage or potential damage and make recommendations for eradication.  Invasive weeds have to be disposed of in accordance with Environment Agency guidelines.

Why would I need to get an invasive weed report?

You are responsible for looking after the land you occupy. If you suspect there are non-native invasive weeds on this land, it is recommended you seek professional advice.
