Site instructions and documents
Harmful invasive species
In Finland, the harmful invasive garden species include giant hogweed, garden lupin, Japanese rose and Himalayan balsam. All of these also grow in Joroinen, and they have mainly been removed by mowing and weeding.
Removal on private property
A collection point has been set up at the municipal depot at Asematie 6, where residents can bring giant hogweed and Himalayan balsam they have pulled up themselves on weekdays from 7.00 to 14.30. Because of the risk of these plants spreading, the weeding waste must not be taken to the Palviainen bio-terminal together with ordinary garden waste.
Reporting observations of invasive species
Observations of invasive species in the public areas of the municipality of Joroinen (not in private gardens) can be reported by email to marika.limatius@leppavirta.fi.
