Why ragwort is a problem in Ebbw Vale
On Ebbw Vale properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Ebbw Vale's former steelworks left extensive disturbed spoil land throughout the valley, and the River Ebbw's disturbed banks continue to give Japanese knotweed a strong foothold across the town.
