This project explores how invasive species such as Himalayan balsam, signal crayfish and giant hogweed are reshaping local ecosystems. As a freshwater biologist, I approach this subject from both a scientific and photographic perspective, documenting the ecological impact and the efforts to manage or remove these species.

I follow removal days, habitat management, early signs of growth and the effect these plants and animals have on rivers, canals and farmland. This is an education-driven project aimed at increasing awareness of a topic that affects many parts of the countryside.
