Why ragwort is a problem in Coventry
On Coventry properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Coventry's former motor industry sites and the culverted River Sherbourne running beneath the city centre have left extensive brownfield land, with knotweed also spreading along the disused Coventry Canal towpath.
