Snowberry Clearance and Guelder Rose Planting
Snowberry is an ornamental plant native to North and Central America. It is growing enthusiastically on the scrubs and its berries, though poisonous to humans are eaten by some birds. Whilst it is not perceived as a problem plant, its wildlife benefits are limited and it spreads easily so can out compete native species.
This project will involve digging out the snowberries and planting the native Guelder rose which is an attractive plant that will provide nectar for pollinating insects and berries for the birds without the risk of spreading to areas where it can become a problem.
