LET'S GET RID OF THE INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES
MORE INFO:
The project addresses the topic of invasive alien plant species (invasives), which can cause economic damage, have harmful effects on human health, and displace indigenous species. The project is primarily aimed at raising awareness among the population about harmful non-native invasive plants, to familiarize them with the appropriate methods of suppression, removal, and handling of the residues of invasive plant species. In recent years, we have been trying to raise awareness of the importance of prevention and to show the usefulness of invasive plants through various workshops (production of tinctures, ointments, etc.).
GOALS
- reduce damage caused by non-native invasive plant species;
- raising awareness among citizens about methods of removing non-native invasive plant species.
ACTIVITIES
- conducting lectures for schools and/or kindergartens and learning about non-native invasive plants in the field;
- establishing the possibility of reporting new sites, updating the inventory of sites;
- assistance to citizens in dealing with the problem – preparation of guidelines and/or implementation of removal actions;
- various workshops on invasive plants (Use of invasive plants in folk medicine, With knowledge and attitude towards less invasive plants and well-kept green areas…).
