Invasive species are a problem
across UK.

The Wear Rivers Trust is currently working to map and manage invasive non-native species (INNS) throughout the Wear catchment. As part of our Wear Invasive Non-Native Species (WINNS) project we are;

   • Gathering INNS records from the public and other organisations

   • Co-ordinating volunteer walkover surveys

   • Producing INNS coverage maps for the whole Wear and for individual priority sub-catchments

   • Training people to identify and control INNS

   • Strategically tackling INNS in partnership with others.
