Why American skunk cabbage is a problem in Basingstoke
On Basingstoke properties, American skunk cabbage colonises wet woodland, pond margins and boggy ground, forming dense stands that shade out native wetland plants. Basingstoke's rapid post-war development left pockets of disturbed land along the Basingstoke Canal and the M3 corridor, where knotweed has colonised old brick pits and the former railway sidings near the town centre.
