Why ragwort is a problem in Walsall
On Walsall properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Walsall's leather tanning industry left contaminated brownfield sites near the River Tame, where knotweed has established alongside the Walsall Canal, spreading into nearby arboretum grounds and parks.
