BB Alien – Beyond Borders: Joint Efforts to Combat Invasive Alien Species

Combating the invasive species Lupinus polyphyllus (large-leaved lupine/garden lupine) in Haparanda

The invasive species large-leaved lupine/garden lupine is spreading rapidly and threatening biodiversity. The County Administrative Board of Norrbotten will test a new method on the 27 May 2025, a method that has never been tested before in Norrbotten. They will use hot water to combat the plant in the Riekkola-Välivaara nature reserve in Haparanda.

The testing is part of the Interreg Aurora funded project BB Alien, a cross-border cooperation between Swedish and Finnish organisations. The goal of the project is preventing the spread of invasive alien species.
