About the event
Join us for a relaxed, hands-on workshop all about Crassula helmsii (also known as Australian swamp stonecrop or New Zealand pygmy weed)s — an invasive aquatic plant that can cause real trouble in our ponds and wetlands. NWT Crassula Officer Julia Mumford-Smith and Wilder Landscapes Adviser Ethne Clark — will guide you through what this plant is, how to spot it, and why it can become such a problem. We’ll also chat through practical ways to tackle it safely and effectively, including things like biosecurity and when contractors might be needed.
The project is funded by the Anglian Water Invasive Non-Native Species Fund through the Cambridge Community Foundation.
