This week we had an excellent talk from Jo Gore from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust's New Forest Non-Native Plants Project. Of course it was about Invasive Non-native Plants and during the evening we learned that it was a much bigger problem than just Himalayan Balsam!

So if you would like to help Jo and her colleagues out during the coming summer, pulling Himalayan Balsam etc, Jo would be pleased to hear from you. Look no further than:
