Why American skunk cabbage is a problem in Marlborough
On Marlborough properties, American skunk cabbage colonises wet woodland, pond margins and boggy ground, forming dense stands that shade out native wetland plants. Marlborough's historic wide high street and the River Kennet's disturbed water meadows have given knotweed a foothold, spreading from the old college grounds into the surrounding downland verges.
