Why ragwort is a problem in Doncaster
On Doncaster properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Doncaster's colliery spoil heaps and railway marshalling yards along the River Don created ideal disturbed ground for Japanese knotweed, which has spread widely along the old mining branch lines and canal towpaths near the racecourse.
