Floating Pennywort Crisis: Canal and River Trust Launches Fundraising Appeal to Save River Soar

The Canal and River Trust is urgently addressing the invasive floating pennywort threatening the River Soar in Leicestershire. This rapidly growing weed, introduced in the 1980s for garden ponds, is choking the river and endangering native species. The trust is launching a fundraising campaign to clear the pennywort before it takes over completely. The Environment Agency is also contributing to the effort, focusing on precise upstream removal and monitoring with volunteers.
