Three dalarna municipalities pay residents to remove invasive plants

Falun, Säter and Borlänge are offering payment this summer to residents who combat invasive species using the Crowdsorsa app.

Three municipalities in Dalarna are giving residents the chance to earn money by clearing plants that threaten biodiversity. Participants use the Crowdsorsa mobile app to document and remove species such as lupins and Canadian goldenrod.

The municipalities of Falun, Säter and Borlänge are taking part in the initiative running through the summer. The goal is to protect local nature while providing financial compensation to residents for their efforts.
