Why ragwort is a problem in Chatteris
On Chatteris properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Around the town centre and the surrounding fens, Chatteris's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Cambridgeshire.
