The challenge of blackberry propagation

In this project, we are working together to combat the spread of blackberry plants in a municipal nature reserve. The fast-growing blackberry forms dense stands that hinder the growth of other plant species, especially along river banks.

Why is that so important?

A single blackberry bush can cover an area 6 metres in diameter within two years. The thorny shoots of the blackberry can also restrict the movement of animals and reduce the diversity of plants and animals, reducing the ecological value of ecosystems.

Become part of the solution with the learners and enjoy a wonderful day in nature.
