Invasive Non-Native Species

Invasive Non-Native Species - Giant Hogweed

10-15% of non-native species established in the UK cause significant adverse impacts, such as disrupting habitats and ecosystems, as well as imposing serious harm to human health.

Proactive landscape management is vital in combating this and TEP has provided information on how management plans can help in the control and eradication of invasive non-native species. We’ve also included the species which are most commonly found in the UK, an overview of the legislative context, the control measures available, management considerations and potential constraints, as well as details of how contractor warranties and guarantees function.
