Why ragwort is a problem in Nailsea
On Nailsea properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Nailsea's former coal-mining and glassworks history left disturbed spoil heaps around the town, and the old railway line through nearby Backwell has provided a corridor for knotweed to spread.
