🍄 spending #INNSweek swabbing non-native alpine newts for #Bd in Canterbury 🍄

Thanks to the great team DICE Kent for looking after us!

It's #InvasiveSpeciesWeek so here's Carpobrotus edulis (Sour Fig) for #wildflowerhour . Guernsey Conservation Volunteers remove a variety of #invasiveplants every year including tonnes of Sour Fig. Seeing native plants return after #invasivespeciesremoval is amazing! 🤩

Students from Newcastle University Sciences at Newcastle NCL Marine and Ecology Group, Newcastle University took part in monitoring to detect marine non-natives across Lindisfarne NNR as part of the LIFE WADER project LIFE Programme #INNSweek Natural England NE

Our team presented the #Megapredator project during the fish gastronomic event in Santarém. We showed that the #europeancatfish is predating on economically important species such European eel & sea lamprey.

This week is #INNSweek ! Invasive plants and animals harm the environment and wildlife, and block waterways making paddling difficult. They can be small and hard to spot, so are easily spread on damp equipment and clothing. Keep kit clean and do your bit to help #StopTheSpread 😎

Natural Course and GM Green City have worked with Groundwork Greater Manchester Irwell Catchment Partnership River Stewardship Co and volunteers to comprehensively survey and publish heat maps of #GiantHogweed and #JapaneseKnotweed on the River Irwell Catchment in Greater Manchester #innsweek storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/8a…

Turn of the tide?! In recent years, grey squirrels have been on the decline in counties Tyrone and Fermanagh, with pine marten recovery believed to be the main factor. With grey squirrels now absent, red squirrels can now be seen in Enniskillen gardens! #INNSweek 1/3

Invasive Species Week #INNSweek Day #4

Hotels - once places for R&R, travelling businessmen, weddings, honeymoons, room service and mini-bars.
Now 500 are occupied by 50,000 economic chancers at the cost of £7 million a day and rising.

Red squirrels have survived in remote areas or sub-par habitats that Grey squirrels cannot live in, or have been protected by hard working volunteer red squirrel groups. #INNSweek 1/3

Invasive species threaten UK wildlife, inc gardeners’ friends 🐞

Damage from nature invaders costs the economy billions each year.

This #INNSWeek we're calling for soil imports to be phased out, as part of a wider plan to stop further nature invaders 🐜

This week's #WednesdayBloom is an invasive species. Humans have introduced many species to parts of the world where they wouldn’t naturally be found

Some of these spread into the wild, negatively impacting the environment, economy and health
Can you guess the species? #INNSweek

It is illegal to transport or release a Grey Squirrel once captured - this is because the release of Invasive Species is banned by The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 on the grounds that they cause 'severe problems for native animals and the environment'. #INNSweek
