Why ragwort is a problem in Chepstow
On Chepstow properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Chepstow sits at the Wye and Severn confluence, where tidal disturbance and the old railway and quayside land give knotweed ideal disturbed ground, with stands recurring along the Wye Valley bank.
