The Bracken Control Group
The formation of this group was largely influenced by the need to bring and coordinate all matters relating to bracken into a singular setting.
This Group considers all bracken control issues and techniques and connects many stakeholders and interested parties bringing bracken management to a diverse range of groups and representatives. The list of Sector representatives can be viewed here and are invited to attend an annual meeting and to provide input into the running of the group.
Lists of aerial and ground-based contractors can be found here. Please contact us to forward details of any contractors to be added to the list.
