Have just sent Hugh Tyler of Natural England and email linking to and containing the map and details.
What could be done is all the rest of the marsh to ensure it is not spreading
What isn't being done is the mass on the lower fields north of the boat including the bunds adjacent the river.
Two were removed from Site 2A on 18th May. Lost exact details of those removed from Site EoB
4th Sept: Cleared sites 3,4,5 and 6 (3 bags)
Site 1 (28th July to 7th Aug) Tuai and I are cleared mostly by slashing.
