Why bracken is a problem in Epsom
On Epsom properties, bracken spreading rhizome dominates hillsides, woodland edges and pasture, and the fronds are toxic to livestock. Epsom's chalk downland cuttings and the old railway lines converging on Epsom station have disturbed ground that knotweed readily colonises, spreading further from the racecourse's historic stable yards.
