Knotweed in Burnley
Burnley's canal-side cotton mills and colliery spoil heaps along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and River Calder created disturbed, nutrient-rich ground where Japanese knotweed has become firmly established across the old industrial valley.
Burnley sits within our Lancashire coverage, where the main local pressure is mill-town river valleys and shared terraced boundaries.
