Why ragwort is a problem in Bournemouth
On Bournemouth properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Bournemouth's Victorian pleasure gardens along the Bourne Stream valley, known as the Chines, have provided sheltered disturbed ground where knotweed has spread extensively through the town's wooded ravines.
