Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly

A new service to help tackle invasive pond species is being launched by Cornwall Wildlife Trust.

Pond Check aims to raise awareness of the threat of non-native plants that are invading Cornish ponds and waters.

The free service is targeting six of the most invasive aquatic plants including creeping water primrose, floating pennywort, parrot’s feather, New Zealand pygmy weed, large flowered water weed and the curly waterweed.
