Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Arnold
On Arnold properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Arnold's former hosiery mills and quarry sites near the Day Brook created disturbed ground where Japanese knotweed has spread along old railway paths and green corridors linking to Sherwood and Gedling.
