A message being shared on behalf of for Dollar.
Tillhill are going to be doing some invasive species control over the summer. Specifically targeting Pirri-pirri Bur. It would be amazing if anyone happens to have seen this while out and about and could ping a location where you've seen it so it can be passed on for it to be treated.
Link attached for more info on Pirri-Pirri Bur.
