Knotweed in Poole
Poole's extensive natural harbour and former clay pit workings around the quayside have left disturbed ground where knotweed spreads along the Holes Bay shoreline and old railway embankments.
Poole sits within our Dorset coverage, where the main local pressure is stour and frome catchments, protected heathland and dense coastal plots.
