Non-native invasive plant species can pose significant risks to both the environment and your project’s bottom line. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is an offence to plant or otherwise cause invasive species—such as Japanese Knotweed—to grow in the wild. Furthermore, the Environmental Protection Act 1990 classifies many of these plants as "controlled waste," requiring strict disposal protocols.
We provide end-to-end services to identify, manage, and eradicate invasive species, ensuring your site remains compliant and your land value is protected.
Identification Surveys: Detailed site walkovers to map the location and extent of invasive species, including Japanese Knotweed, Giant Hogweed, Himalayan Balsam, and Cotoneaster.
Invasive Species Management Plans (ISMP): We produce robust, site-specific strategies required by planners and mortgage lenders to manage or eradicate infestations.
Ecological Supervision: On-site monitoring during excavation or construction to ensure contaminated soil is handled correctly and biosecurity measures are enforced.
Removal & Remediation: We coordinate a range of treatment options, from professional herbicide application, on-site burial or complete removal, depending on your project's timeline and budget.
