Description

The aim of the project is the negative effects of disturbance of biodiversity through the spread of invasive alien species, control of their occurrence, as well as identification and elimination of sources and routes of spread of invasive alien species, taking into account complementary awareness-raising campaigns in this regard, including their interrelationship and the performance of analyzes to indicate possible paths for the management of waste generated after the removal of plants. 

 

Eadication of invasive species - Soson''s borscht, Canadian goldenrod and knotweed As part of the task, monitoring of activities are planned to carry out in the field of active nature protection. Task led by a Norwegian project partner. As part of the task, it is planned to prepare a concept of the most effective way for the management of the waste, which is green mass, being a result of cutting down Sosnowski hogweed. Conducting an information and educational campaign.
