Why giant hogweed is a problem in Warminster
On Warminster 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. Warminster's military garrison land on Salisbury Plain and the River Wylye's disturbed valley floor have allowed knotweed to establish along old railway sidings and training ground perimeters.
