Day 1 of the hogweed control season in Tayside is up and running. Great to get out and start the season off with a solid session on the Almond. Enjoyed seeing some of our brilliant volunteers after a long winter. @SISI_project @taydsfb @NatureScot @pkclimate_a @PerthandKinross
Hogweed control site, pic 1 2022 prior to control, pic 2 2023, pic 3 2024. Site is a terrible mess of infestation, but now moving nicely in the right direction with control. Work will continue to remove hogweed entirely over time. @SISI_project @taydsfb @NatureScot @pkclimate_a

Thank you to everyone who has sent in American skunk cabbage reports in Tayside. We will be bringing these locations into our control programme this season. With a single member of staff per catchment, your sightings are vital information. @SISI_project @NatureScot @taydsfb
First day of Giant Hogweed control took place on Monday 15th of April over here in Angus at Kintrockat. Out with our excellent top rope access contractors, hitting sites of steep banking which allows us to push further downstream with our control. @SISI_project @EsksBoard
I'm alarmed at how quickly this is spreading near where I live, please report it if you live in these areas (I've already reported my sightings 🤓).
⚠️ Have you seen American skunk cabbage in the Cromarty Firth, Ness or Beauly catchments? 🌱 We're looking to expand our control efforts in these areas - and we need your help! If you see this plant, please report your sightings on our website: invasivespecies.scot/report-invasiv… 1/3

No, it's not a Triffid. It's American skunk cabbage, and it really does stink! 👃 This invasive non native species is becoming a real pest as it crowds out native plants in wet spots. Caz, our Estate Ranger at #GleannShìldeag is not a fan. #INNS @SISI_project @shieldaigranger

@SISI_project @RiverDeeTeam @thedontrust @NatureScot @ScotGovNetZero This is the river visible from the a96, right? I'm so glad you are tackling it - the sheer quantity of giant hogweed along it gives me the heebie jeebies every time I drive past. Good luck!

Getting rafts fitted with scent balls and remoti units into new locations in Tayside. We're working hard to improve coverage and fill in gaps to give us the best chance of finding where the mink are. These new tools help us do that efficiently. @SISI_project @taydsfb @NatureScot
This area was discovered as the source of a Skunk Cabbage outbreak on the Almond in 2023. Gratifying to see our control being effective with zero regrowth this season so far. We'll keep an eye on it but results look good. @SISI_project @taydsfb @PerthandKinross @pkclimate_a
Success on a Dundee raft and our third mink of the year - all mature females. The installed remoti unit means we were able to respond immediately when the trap went off and this mink had been trap shy, so it appears the scent ball worked to overcome that. @SISI_project @taydsfb
