    An email today from Heritage Office of Kildare County Council - might be of interest. By the way, they ran some very interesting practical wildlife workshops during the year - including site visits with professional and amateur experts. Call them and get added to their mailing list if you are interested in future events.
    Invasive Species Information Seminar

    Thursday 20th November 2008 at 8.00 p.m

    Áras Chill Dara, Devoy Park , Naas

    What are invasive species?
    Alien - or non-native - plants and animals are causing problems to
    Kildare’s native wildlife, countryside, forestry, rivers and lakes.

    The alien species thrive across the county through predation, competing
    against native species for food and space, spreading disease, damaging
    plants, eroding soil and changing habitats. The invasion impacts humans
    in many ways: changing traditional game fishing to coarse fishing,
    blocking up boat engines, clogging up waterways, breaking up roads and
    even concrete! Plants that are of particular concern include plants
    such as Japanese knotweed and Giant hogweed.

    This information seminar will provide awareness of invasive species in
    Kildare and give advice on their prevention, containment and control.

    Who Should Attend?
    This seminar will be of interest to users of waterways and water bodies
    (i.e. anglers, recreational water users etc) and anyone with a general
    interest in nature and wildlife.

    The seminar is free of charge but booking is essential as places are
    limited.

    For bookings and further information please contact the Heritage Office
    045 980765
