Why algae and lichen is a problem in Caernarfon
On Caernarfon properties, algae and lichen green film on paths, patios, render and signage that stains surfaces and makes them slippery through the winter. Caernarfon's harbourside slate wharves and former railway lines along the Menai Strait left disturbed quayside ground where Japanese knotweed has spread through the old dock area and Seiont riverbanks near the castle.
