SUMMARY:Webinar: Using citizen science to prevent future spread of invasive non-native plants
DESCRIPTION:Invasive non-native species harm the environment\, the economy\, our health\, and the way we live. Many of the non-native species found in the wild in Great Britain are plants\, and most were originally introduced for use in gardens. Join this webinar with Coventry University to learn more about the citizen science project Plant Alert (www.plantalert.org) led by the university in collaboration with the Botanical Society for Britain and Ireland. To date\, more than 1\,000 records have been submitted by gardeners and results are used to identify potential invasive plant species of the future and prevent their spread. \nRegister for free at the link below.

SUMMARY:Asian Hornets: Spot the threat\, protect our pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Ann Haigh\, an Invasive Species Officer from the National Biodiversity Data Centre\, joins the Irish Wildlife Trust for an informative and engaging webinar on the invasive Asian Hornet (Vespa velutina) and what it means for Ireland. \nThis presentation will introduce the Asian hornet\, outlining relevant biology\, and the threat it poses to Irish pollinators and biodiversity. Ann will cover the history of the Asian Hornet here\, what occurred during the 2025 incursion and what the plans are to protect Ireland in future. \nLearn what actions you can take\, particularly how to identify the Asian Hornet and distinguish it from valuable native species. Our native insects continue to decline\, and it is critical to avoid further harm to them while seeking to keep Ireland free of this invasive species. Ann will demonstrate how to report sightings via the Asian Hornet Reporter. With systems in place to eradicate nests\, the public’s help in correctly identifying and reporting the Asian hornet is the single most important factor in responding to this species. \nRegister for free at the link below.
