Historical sites where the species was recorded previously were re-visited by the Contrats de Rivière de Wallonie to assess the outcome of management actions conducted in the past. The dataset includes absence records and should be considered with caution. Data compilation, cleaning and validation were performed by the Département de l’Étude du Milieu Naturel et Agricole (SPW – DGARNE - DEMNA).Purpose
The dataset was collected within the framework of the assessment of the giant hogweed management plan conducted in Wallonia from 2011 onwards.

Wallonia, Belgium - June 2021Sampling
historical sites where the giant hogweed was previously recorded (see dataset “DEMNA-DNE : Exotic plant occurrences in Wallonia”) were re-visited to assess the outcome of management actions conducted since plant detection.

Plant presence/absence was assessed on visual information collected in this way. Data were afterwards compiled by Adrien Latli, SPW-DGARNE-DEMNA.Method steps
- Visit by operators of target localities (local river contracts)
- gathering of the information (DEMNA)
