Exotic or non-native wild plants and animals are regarded by many as ‘a bad thing’ but is there more to the story?
A walk on Clapham Common with Dr Iain Boulton.
Iain will lead a walk on Sunday to look for exotic or non-native wild plants and animals. Clapham Common is home to many non-native species, from Japanese knotweed and lemon balm, through false acacia and sweet chestnut, to animals like grey squirrels and red-eared terrapins.
