More Pennywort

Pennywort eradication going well.  We had funding from the local water company, landowners and the Environment agency to prune back the trees that were trapping the pennywort on the upper Cam and making it impossible to remove.
You can just see the team of 3, working from 2 giant punts and half hidden in the trees. They're working from right (upstream) to left. The green patch on the left is floating pennywort


And we've a growing team of kayakers and others that are helping remove the little strands that emerge, before they have a chance to grow into monster mats
