Weed Management

What Is An Environmental Weed?

Invasive and environmental weeds get into our natural conservation areas where they can smother or displace our wonderful local native plants and impact the regeneration process.

Check the lists to see which weeds should be reported to the Caretaker or ELM if found in your garden or sighted on Common Property.

This 2024 Top 25 Weed List has been developed by ELM in collaboration with the Caretaking team and will be reviewed every 12 months
