Why ragwort is a problem in Crosby
On Crosby properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Crosby's sandy coastline and former railway sidings near Waterloo have allowed knotweed to spread through the dunes surrounding Crosby Marine Park and along the disused rail embankments toward Hightown.
