The workshop will run from 10am until approx. 3pm. We will be launching our new Invasive Species Toolkit and there will be talks from members of the Wales Resilient Ecological Network (WaREN) team and external speakers (TBC).
Our Invasive Species Toolkit aims to support volunteer action in Wales and contains all the information you need to start and manage a LAG, and including details on how to ID and manage invasive species. The afternoon 'practical' session will give you the chance to try out our Toolkit and the new INNS Mapper app. INNS Mapper is currently being updated to allow people to record invasive species and their management actions.
