Why ragwort is a problem in Buckingham
On Buckingham properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. The River Great Ouse loops directly through Buckingham, and knotweed is well established along its banks and around the former canal basin site, spreading further via the old railway embankment that once served the town.
