  • smartphone app for reporting non native invasive plants

    PlantTracker
    Most council do very little to tackle invasive plants

    You only have to look at the knotweed and balsam
    On the side of most roads and rivers.

    I'm slowly filling the map with little red dots
    Hopefully it will highlight a problem in an area and something
    Will be done

    The app takes a bit of getting use to
    Make sure the plant species is in the top box before you
    fill the report or it will not send.
    Select species from the first menu every time you
    do a report

        The bees love the balsam though.

          Dog like chocolate and would eat it in preference
          to dog food but we don't feed them it.
          Bees prefer to Pollinate balsam than native plants once it becomes established will they
          Ignore native plants .
          Who knows what effect it will have on bees as they
          Have not evolved to feed exclusively on balsam

          We are also losing winberries and heather on the moors due to the balsam growing through
          The native plants and Shading them.

          Once the balsam becomes established it dies off in winter leaving the soil
          Exposed to the elements which intern causes soil erosion.
