Alien v predator: moth out to kill Japanese knotweed
Biological warfare is to be declared on an alien invader, Japanese knotweed, that swamps gardens and rivers, with the release of an insect to eat the virulent weed.

National flood trial to start in East Yorkshire
Work starts this month [February] on a trial in East Yorkshire which could shape the way that the Environment Agency nationally manages the risk of flooding. Burstwick Drain, which flows through Hedon, near Hull, is one of six locations around the country that will be part of an Environment Agency national trial into the maintenance of watercourses. The study aims to show if watercourse maintenance, which ranges from dredging to cutting back vegetation, has any significant effect on reducing the risk of flooding.
