May 12th Not to ignore that I put a day aside and ~~ AONB Invasive Plants meeting:
Apart from the 'Introducer' a 'waste' of time. the young blue guy waffling, Valerie didn't really have enough time but clarified that as this is a top to bottom approach it requires funding to get people to find the plants and then remove them.
My waste of time is another's resource :)
Heard about the Skunk Cabbage

There's a meeting on 12th May here's the 'programme'and a list of 'invasive' plants.
Prompted by an update from Natural England via Hugh Tyler I've arranged a discussion with the AONB office at Drakewalls' office for pm on 18th November.
UPDATE: The meeting was uneventful and will edit this post when more entertaining and useful things have been accomplished.
