Recording Invasive Species

INNS Mapper

A team led by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Yorkshire Water have launched an app and website which allow reporting of sightings, surveys & the management of invasive non-native species (INNS) in England, Scotland and Wales. The free INNS Mapper tools aim to provide an effective resource to support INNS programmes and coordinate efforts. Visit the INNS Mapper website or app store to download the app to find out more.
