Trustees – ELCV

🎵What to Record?

We want to record all the details we can, to help the landowner find them, and to monitor our overall progress:

Plant
- GH for Giant Hogweed
- JK for Japanese Knotweed
- HB for Himalayan Balsam
Quantity
- eg x5
- For JK/HB estimate the area, eg 20sqm
Status
- eg small, medium, large, flowering (hopefully not!)
Bank
- Which side of the river its on, eg left bank (looking downstream)
Your initials, eg DQ
Any other useful info (if long, put in Notes), e.g.
- Under tree; Hidden in bushes; opposite gate
- looks sprayed
- still not been treated despite 2 previous reports
- Dead, but has full seed head – must have been missed last year
NB: Timestamp is automatic
- Location, Date & Time get automatically recorded & exported by the software

Examples

GH x5 3ft left bank hidden in willows. DQ
GH x1 flowering in woods off right bank. Reported in April but still there!
JK 30sqm island by West Bank. Look as if sprayed
Couldnt survey 20m upstream of here, too overgrown. DQ
