Important work is being carried out in Brookly Wood to remove invasive non-native plants such as Bamboo and Cherry Laurel. Invasive plant material will be cut and burnt on-site.
These species are extremely invasive and will quickly out-compete native plants. This invasion leads to a general degradation of the natural ecosystem of the woodland. These invasive plants typically spread from garden waste fly-tipping.
By removing these alien plants we will be improving the woodland for native wildlife. This work is being funded by Natural England under a ten-year agreement with Hart District Council.
