Good morning everyone,
From: Matthew Tebbutt
Hi Roy
Please find attached PowerPoint with refs and links used in the presentation.
What can our community do to manage Himalayan Balsam and Japanese Knotweed? that would be great
In the short term, Survey for the target species and submit records to me
Next week I will create a catchment map for Amroth/Llanteg and pass on to you what records we have so far for balsam and knotweed.
In the medium term, once we have a better understanding of extent and source areas of balsam we could look to gain some permissions for community led control, the project will assist in permissions, strategy and if I have budget maybe a contractor.
If that’s something the community is interested in? For the Stitch project to fund work outside the project catchments we need to ensure any effort is focused on strategic areas and a commitment from the community to the lead in control and monitoring. I will also need to justify any resource/effort in a catchment context so records and mapping is a key start.
You members are welcome to join me on work parties at other sites such as in Castlemartin corse next season.
On the night of the talk I spoke to 2 ladies, one regarding Montbrecia in a woodland (Hean estate) near Sardis, and another on Himalayan balsam in Amroth/Llanteg. Could you ask them to get in touch, no rush. Sorry I forgot their names.
There may be grants out there (external, not Stitch in time/National Park) to assist communities in biodiversity projects which may include INNS work. I will keep an ear out.
I will get in touch towards the end of next week.
Cheers
Mat

29 Oct 2022 update
Good evening everyone,
I hope you are all in good health, and stayed indoors on a wet and windy Autumnal day.
On a positive front, don't forget the clocks go back an hour overnight, so an extra hour in bed!
Many thanks to those who came along to a very interesting and thought provoking talk on invasive plant species, given by Matthew Tebbutt from Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
When it comes to Himalayan Balsam and Japanese Knotweed, then a survey of the waterways and wetlands in our community wouldn't go amiss.
What do you think?
Our next talk is with Rachel Barber from Carmarthenshire Meadow Group, and on the 9th of November at 7pm at LVH. Please come along, the cost as usual is £3 per person and this includes light refreshments.
I will remind you nearer the date, and let you know the title of Rachel's talk at the same time.
Finally I've not forgotten, but I will prepare a draft constitution for our gardening group for discussion soon.
Kind regards,
Roy
