Without effective management, these species can damage habitats, reduce biodiversity and increase long-term land management costs. The Lancashire Wildlife Trust Contracts Team provides professional invasive species control services across Lancashire, helping landowners, businesses and public sector organisations protect their sites and support nature recovery.

Our experienced team delivers tailored vegetation management and invasive plant control for local authorities, businesses and conservation organisations. Whether working on conservation sites, river corridors, highways, public parks or private land, we carry out comprehensive site surveys before implementing effective, environmentally responsible treatment programmes. 

During the summer months, one of the most common plants we manage is Himalayan balsam. This fast-growing plant quickly dominates riverbanks and damp habitats, suppressing native wildflowers and leaving bare ground vulnerable to erosion once the plants die back. We also provide specialist Japanese knotweed removal in Lancashire, alongside treatment programmes for giant hogweed and other invasive non-native species.

Early intervention is the most effective way to control invasive species. Identifying and treating during the growing season reduces the risk of further spread, lowers future management costs and allows native plants to re-establish. Our Nature Works Team works closely with clients to develop practical management plans that meet legal responsibilities while delivering lasting environmental benefits.
