Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


The Test and Itchen Invasive Non Native Species (INNS) Project is an ambitious multi-year partnership project aiming to reduce the impact of invasive non native species on the precious native wildlife and habitats of the Test and Itchen river catchments. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/176a464b691a44158f626f3594127a4d


The project was developed when multiple stakeholders and members of the Test and Itchen Catchment Partnership raised concerns around the growing threat posed by invasive species on the integrity of these globally rare chalk streams. The first phase of the project was conducted by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, collecting data and pooling resources to determine the current understanding of invasive non native species distribution in the catchments. Partners agreed a multi-stakeholder, collaborative, catchment scale approach was required to tackle the threat posed by invasive non native species and improve the health of our rivers.
