Let’s tackle invasive species in Wales!
There are lots of things you can do to help us tackle the threat posed by invasive species
Whether you're a gardener, kayaker, paddler, swimmer, dog walker, or even just a wildlife lover, there's something YOU can do to help tackle the threat to our native species.
From learning to recognise and report invasive species, to practising biosecurity at home and when you're out and about, or even volunteering to help control the spread, this page will give you all the tools you need.
