Why giant hogweed is a problem in Aldershot
On Aldershot properties, giant hogweed sap causes severe phototoxic burns and long-term light sensitivity, which makes it a genuine safety issue on footpaths, riverbanks and school boundaries. Aldershot's long military heritage has left extensive disturbed ground on former Army training grounds, and the Basingstoke Canal towpath and old railway sidings near the barracks provide corridors along which knotweed has spread.
