    Why bracken is a problem in Middlesbrough

    On Middlesbrough properties, bracken spreading rhizome dominates hillsides, woodland edges and pasture, and the fronds are toxic to livestock. Middlesbrough sits in North Yorkshire, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
