Bracken management
Bracken is an invasive species which restricts the growth of desirable plants within a habitat, it is a particular problem in the uplands, where it also restricts public access and acts as a medium by which sheep tics are transferred. There are a number options for the control of this species.
We can:
- Reduce the vigour of bracken by mechanical means
- Cut and Collect bracken for composting
- Cut and bail bracken for agricultural uses
- Treat bracken chemically where other options are not practicable
- Advise on the best combination of methodologies to control bracken
- Where bracken control is to be undertaken over a period of time
We can:
- Produce bracken management plans
- Set up monitoring programmes to quantify the change
- Provide sustainable options to the use of the material
