Caroline Vaudrey of Highland Environment Forum has drawn attention to this RSPB event

Spartina anglica – Managing this invasive plant to protect saltmarshes in the Cromarty Firth. 

Join RSPB Scotland staff at Nigg Bay in the Cromarty Firth as they share their experience of managing the invasive non-native grass Spartina anglica on saltmarshes in the area.

The event will cover the challenges faced while managing Spartina; lessons learnt during the process; and the progress that has been made in tackling this persistent plant. 

During the event there will be the opportunity to discuss how techniques adapted to manage Spartina might be relevant to the management of other invasive species, and how managing other INNS might be relevant to the future management of Spartina. 

The event will include a short indoor presentation and a site visit to RSPB Nigg Bay.
