Why giant hogweed is a problem in Henley-on-Thames
On Henley-on-Thames 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. Around the bridge and the regatta course, Henley-on-Thames'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 Oxfordshire.
