Knotweed in Plymouth
Plymouth's naval dockyard heritage and extensive Blitz-era rebuilding left disturbed brownfield land, where knotweed has spread through the Plym Valley's former railway cuttings and old quarry sites.
Plymouth sits within our Devon coverage, where the main local pressure is steep river catchments and a long southern growing season.
