Why American skunk cabbage is a problem in Accrington
On Accrington properties, American skunk cabbage colonises wet woodland, pond margins and boggy ground, forming dense stands that shade out native wetland plants. Accrington's famous brickworks and old railway sidings along the River Hyndburn left disturbed clay pits and embankments where Japanese knotweed has spread extensively across the town's post-industrial landscape.
