Why ragwort is a problem in Wolverhampton
On Wolverhampton properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Wolverhampton's canal network and former iron and steel works left disturbed ground where knotweed has flourished, spreading along the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal towpaths into surrounding suburbs.
