正文(英文) | Press release Nipping Floating Pennywort in the bud!Pilot scheme to remove the fast growing invasive species floating pennywort on River Colne This spring, work is underway to control and remove floating pennywort from the mid-lower reaches of the River Colne Valley, which crosses parts of greater London and Buckinghamshire. The project is part of a joint venture between the Environment Agency and Groundwork South - who are the driving force behind the ColneCAN (Colne Catchment Action Network) partnership, with members including anglers, water companies, local authorities and the Canal and River Trust. The Lower Colne Catchment Floating Pennywort Management CVFC Plan is a two-year pilot project that aims to use a collaborative approach in improving the local water environment. The plan is designed to unite relevant local groups and organisations to restore and enhance the River Colne network and wider water environment. Samantha Ho, biodiversity officer for the Environment Agency, said:
Tom White, Rivers Officer from Groundwork South and host of the Colne Catchment Action Network, said:
Floating pennywort is a non-native species of plant, introduced to this country as an ornamental aquatic plant. It tends to favour slower moving watercourses with slack edges and backwaters. The River Colne has a variety of flow types and wonderfully wild corridors; such a complex set up means floating pennywort has plenty of hiding places. A new plant population can become established by a single fragment drifting downstream and once present in a waterbody can grow rapidly. This is a prime example of why it is important to dispose of plants correctly, and to follow advice from the national Be Plant Wise campaign The Environment Agency is under no obligation to remove floating pennywort. However, we do have discretion to remove it under our statutory powers. Riparian owners are also not obliged to remove it, unless it can be shown that they planted it, though if it is on their land they do have a duty to take reasonable action to ensure it does not cause damage to neighbouring properties. If you see floating pennywort on the River Colne or its tributaries please report its location via the CVFC NNIS app Not sure if it is floating pennywort?
