Why ragwort is a problem in Brentwood
On Brentwood properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Brentwood sits on the historic London to Colchester turnpike, and knotweed has established along the Wid Valley and old railway embankments, spreading further through the wooded grounds of Weald Country Park.
