Here you will find information on the collective effort at the North Wales Wildlife Trust to tackle the threat posed by invasive non-native species (invasive species or INNS). This includes several projects focusing on different approaches and different parts of North Wales and beyond.
Our impact
Each year, North Wales Wildlife Trust summarise our work in an ‘impact report’: a celebratory snap-shot of our local movement. We hope it will inspire you to help us work for the wilder future that our children, and our wildlife, deserve to inherit.
