Why ragwort is a problem in Seaford
On Seaford properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Seaford's position near the mouth of the River Ouse and the historic Cuckmere Haven has left the surrounding water meadows prone to knotweed spread, aided further by old coastal defence works and disturbed shingle banks.
