🛰️ Mapping an Invasive Species Along the The River Gipping in Suffolk! 🌿
We’ve teamed up with The River Gipping Trust to track the spread of Himalayan Balsam — a fast-growing invasive plant that outcompetes native species and weakens riverbanks.
🚶♂️ Over 150 geolocated data points have already been collected along and upstream of Stowmarket.
📸 These images are now part of an interactive map designed to guide future conservation efforts.
