Knotweed in Stafford
Stafford sits on the River Sow and Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, where old tanning and engineering sites left disturbed soils; knotweed has colonised railway cuttings near the West Coast Main Line and riverside meadows below the castle.
Stafford sits within our Staffordshire coverage, where the main local pressure is potteries and colliery made ground plus the trent and mersey canal.
