Why ragwort is a problem in Neath
On Neath properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Neath's long coal and tinplate legacy along the River Neath left disturbed riverside land and disused mineral lines that knotweed still colonises, with persistent stands around Briton Ferry dock and the old works sites.
