As a professional invasive weed specialist and trainer for the Property Care Association (PCA), I understand the importance of equipping professionals with comprehensive knowledge and skills to identify and manage a wide range of invasive plant species. While Japanese knotweed often takes center stage, many other harmful herbaceous invasives pose significant threats that require equal attention and expertise.
Introducing the Online Course I’m thrilled to announce the launch of our new online training course focused specifically on herbaceous invasive plants like Himalayan balsam, giant hogweed, hemlock, ragwort, and more. This in-depth program is designed for those already working in the invasive plant sector who want to expand their knowledge and skills in this critical area.
