Why American skunk cabbage is a problem in Stowmarket
On Stowmarket properties, American skunk cabbage colonises wet woodland, pond margins and boggy ground, forming dense stands that shade out native wetland plants. The River Gipping flows directly through Stowmarket, and its old maltings and mill sites have long supported knotweed colonies, further spread along the disused Ipswich to Bury railway embankments nearby.
