Why goosegrass (cleavers) is a problem in Stocksbridge
On Stocksbridge properties, goosegrass (cleavers) scrambles rapidly over hedges and borders, smothering new planting and seeding heavily within a single season. Stocksbridge's steelworks along the Little Don River left disturbed valley-side ground where Japanese knotweed has spread through the wooded gorges and old railway embankments that thread the Pennine fringe town.
