The environmental protection association Cotentin nature Quality of Life can congratulate itself on having been able to mobilize in Saint-Pierre-Église (Manche) the time toan information evening name of specialists of the biodiversity around the problem linked to exotic invasive plants whose presence in the region is becoming more and more significant.
Very invasive colonies
This public information meeting took place in the presence of around 50 people.
We brought together specialists from all over Normandy who addressed the problem of the proliferation of invasive plants, in particular buddleia known as butterfly bush, Japanese knotweed and Pampas grass. These 3 species are the most present in the region and are easily recognizable.
For several years, the association is mobilizing around this scourge and this very mobilizing and constructive meeting allowed the audience to take ownership of a subject which is very present in the region, both on the domaine publicof the community spaceswhich in private gardens.
Decorative, these plants are an easy solution to bring a touch of exoticism to private land, roundabouts and others surroundings of towns.
Devastating effects
These plants are also very present at the heart of industrial wastelands and which, for the time being, are not the subject ofno control. This public meeting led by numerous specialists gave keys to concrete actions faced with a very concrete and explicit situation on the ground.
The first instruction is not to acquire these types of colonizing plants which have devastating effects on biodiversity and the environment.
For those that are standing, it is necessary to prune them regularly and, if possible, to uproot them, in order to prioritize local native plants.
