SUMMARY:Webinar: INNS on the Tees
DESCRIPTION:Local Action Groups across Great Britain (GB) play a key role in reducing the impact of invasive non-native species\, from awareness raising and biosecurity support\, to managing widespread species and providing volunteering opportunities for the local community. \nThe Tees Catchment is home to a rich variety of wildlife and habitats\, but invasive non-native species pose a significant threat to its biodiversity and heritage. Tees Rivers Trust is a catchment-based organisation\, working from source to sea to protect\, improve and celebrate the River Tees through practical restoration\, habitat improvements\, education and engagement. \nINNS have been a core thread running through the Trust’s work since 2012\, and they are currently in the development phase of an exciting new project: the Tees Invasive Species Project (TISP)\, which will continue building on this long-term commitment. \nJoin this webinar hosted by the GB Non-native Species Secretariat to learn more about: \n\nINNS issues affecting the Tees Catchment.\nHow the Trust is tackling the problem through catchment-wide delivery and collaboration.\nWhat’s planned for the Tees Invasive Species Project — and how you can get involved.\n\nWith a speaker from Tees Rivers Trust. \nReserve your spot at the link below.
