Come and join us ! Saturday 8th March 2025 – St Ouen’s Bay
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: WaterGloves Hand trowel or fork Enthusiasm – no experience needed! |
