Why American skunk cabbage is a problem in Lowestoft
On Lowestoft properties, American skunk cabbage colonises wet woodland, pond margins and boggy ground, forming dense stands that shade out native wetland plants. Lowestoft's former fishing docks and the tidal Lake Lothing channel have left extensive brownfield land where knotweed has colonised, with further spread along old railway embankments serving the harbour area.
