Welcome to the Scottish Invasives blog. Invasive non-native species (or INNS) are plants and animals that have been introduced to areas outside their natural range. INNS are currently recognised as one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. The Scottish Invasives blog is intended as an informal forum for those interested in invasive species control.

Beaver kit eating Japanese knotweed
Here is a beaver kit on the river Ericht outside Blairgowrie getting stuck in to the lower leaves of Japanese knotweed. Which of these causes the most problems on rivers?
Pity we did'nt get as much excitement about eradicating JapKnot and other invasives on the Tay as we did in recent years about the beavers.
Well done that Scottish- born beaver...!
