This morning four volunteers got to the spot of Chelo (Coirós) with the aim of definitively eliminating the montbretia (Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora) and the small-leaf spiderwort (Tradescantia fluminensis).
Fragas do Mandeo has been working on the eradication of invasive exotic species by the River Mandeo since 2014. On the stretch between the Chelo footbridge and the Teixeiro Bridge, besides the above mentioned species, they have eliminated the garden privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium), the blackwood acacia (Acacia melanoxylon), the Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana), the tall flatsedge (Cyperus eragrostis), the buddleia (Buddleja davidii) and the hydrangea (Hydrangea sp.).
