The Great Britain Non-native Species Secretariat has produced a series of informations sheets to assist gardeners and landowners in the identification of non-native plant species that are threatening the habitat and existence of many of British species of native plant dwellers.
Plants such as Japanese Knotweed or Himalayan Balsam have been added as well as advice sheets on Canadian Geese and the Signal Crayfish which pose a threat to our indigenous species of wild fowl and fresh water crayfish respectively.
Japanese Knotweed has already costs the organisers of the 2012 Olympics a great deal of money in employing contractors to clear infestations from the London site.
The Invasive Non Natives Species Framework Strategy for Great Britain was launched 28th May 2008.
