Why American skunk cabbage is a problem in Inverness
On Inverness properties, American skunk cabbage colonises wet woodland, pond margins and boggy ground, forming dense stands that shade out native wetland plants. Inverness sits in Highland, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
