Why bracken is a problem in Fleet
On Fleet properties, bracken spreading rhizome dominates hillsides, woodland edges and pasture, and the fronds are toxic to livestock. Around Fleet Pond and the high street, Fleet's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Hampshire.
