Invasive Plant Management

The presence of non-native invasive plants, such as Japanese knotweed (Fallopia Japonica), have the potential to cause major impacts on the development of land through costly delay and remediation. They also impact on our native environment by outcompeting our native plant species. Their presence can have serious financial implications on the sale or development of land and property, and can cause a significant financial burden to projects and the environment if their presence is not identified at the earliest stages.

That is why OHES offers and delivers a professional service for the management of invasive plant species across the UK. We have managed invasive plant eradication and control projects for both the public and private sector, enabling the progression of our clients’ development projects and conservation objectives. We can provide an insurance-backed warranty for our work, which guarantees a long term solution to invasive plant issues.
