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.
