Japanese
Knotweed, Himalayan Balsam and Giant Hogweed (all non-native
plants) are making rapid
and serious encroachments on the Tay system.
They are aggressive, spread rapidly by river, crowd
out native plants and have a detrimental
effect on river ecology, having few natural enemies.
The Board together with the Tay
Foundation have therefore
undertaken a survey of the extent of these plants along
the Tay
and its
tributaries over the summer of 2006.
The River Tay
District Invasive Plants Survey 2006 is now complete.
We urgently request the assistance of
all those concerned.
