Identification Guide to the Non-Native Invasive Plants of Britain and Ireland

…very instructive and useful…the book is ideal for amateurs and professionals, and as the authors say for gardeners, professional ecologists, environmentalists and all that seek protection of nature and green spaces.

– John Feltwell * Wildlife Matters *

This identification guide is faithful to its aims and intentions. It certainly provides a very useful tool for training invasive species champions to identify invasive plants, collect data, take action and inform others to facilitate IAS management actions in Britain and Ireland.
