Purple Dewplant Removal

The Botany Section of the Société Jersiaise are organising a work party to remove Purple Dewplant from the land just south of El Tico in St Ouen’s Bay.

Purple dewplant Disphyma crassifolium is a plant native to South Africa and first recorded in Jersey in 1961 outside a garden. It isn’t native to Jersey but has recently made its way to St Ouen’s Bay, catching a ride from a garden or on the feet of a bird.

It’s threatening our wildlife due to it’s ability to spread rapidly, creating mats of foliage that swamp native plants and create a hostile habitat or local invertebrates and pollinators.

Join Us: Saturday 8th March at 10am
Land south of El Tico
Parking available at El Tico or Le Braye.
  What to bring: Water
Gloves
Hand trowel or fork
Enthusiasm – no experience needed!

If parking at Le Braye walk along the seawall path towards El Tico and you will see the group. If parking at El Tico walk along the seawall path towards Le Braye and you will see the group.

All welcome: Children must be supervised. Sorry no dogs allowed.

We look forward to seeing you there!
