Japanese Knotweed Heatmap Release

PR Campaign
Thursday 16th July, 2026

Environet published an online tracker and shared data on 220 verified Japanese knotweed sightings in Cambridgeshire, highlighting the top five worst-affected towns to generate media coverage and prompt homeowners to seek identification and removal services.

Why it worked: It localized proprietary data into a simple league table, tying a seasonal home-value threat to named postcodes and urgent homeowner action.

The lesson: Consider ranking the top five local risk hotspots from your own dataset and offer a free, quick fix or diagnosis tool.
