Day 2 of #INNSweek and we’re talking about biosecurity!! 🦠⛔️ Did you know that some invasive species can survive for over 2 weeks on damp clothing and equipment? 🦐🪸🌱 Others can spread from a 2mm plant fragment, or possibly even spores 😳 Please remember to 🔍 Check 🚿 Clean 🌞 Dry Your clothing and kit to help prevent the spread! Thanks to all the local businesses who are helping us spread the word instead of the INNS!

This year we kicked off #INNSweek with a walk, talk, survey and uproot event in Uckfield 🙌 We were joined by some fabulous volunteers who recorded invasives on the INNSMapper app, and helped us clear this huge area of Himalayan balsam from the river bank! Thanks for your help! 🤩💪 We’ll be doing loads more invasive species surveys across Spring and Summer, so if you’d like to come to one please contact Jo.owens@oart.org.uk 🌱 (fb)
