I specialise in all aspects of invasive plants, including their ecology, impact, treatment, control and management. This includes surveying, identification, evaluation and mapping. I have substantial experience in the development of appropriate and effective management strategies for invasive plants. I have been working generally with invasive plants since 1983 and specialised in Japanese knotweed from 2005 to the present date. I was the lead author in writing the textbook on invasive bamboos, which was published...

I have been eradicating Japanese Knotweed for over 20 years and was one of the first five people in the UK to become a PCA Certified Surveyor . Therefore, I have the experience needed to deal with any breakout of the invasive weed. I have over 25 years of horticultural experience and over 10 years' experience completing arboricultural surveys, with all reports being completed to BS5837:2012 standards.
