  1. Afternoon, new member here although have been a longtime follower. I manage 40 acres of woodland in West Sussex and I'm currently looking at starting to control non-native or invasive plant species with a view to improving the general condition of the woodland. There are three plant species I want to target, Rhododendron, bamboo and pendulous sedge ( Carex pendula ). There is plenty of information regarding Rhododendron control but I'm struggling to find anything with regard to large scale control of the sedge. This is very wet ground, bottom of a river valley, however even in higher, drier areas the sedge has become highly invasive smothering native plants and making natural regeneration of trees very difficult. Has anyone got any experience of this issue or any other words of wisdom?
