Why giant hogweed is a problem in Farnham
On Farnham 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. Farnham's River Wey water meadows and former hop-growing land, alongside the old railway sidings and disused gravel pits, have given knotweed persistent footholds throughout the town's fringes.
