Why creeping and spear thistle is a problem in Mansfield
On Mansfield properties, creeping and spear thistle creeping root spreads laterally through pasture and amenity grass, and wind-blown seed carries the problem onto neighbouring land. Mansfield's former colliery spoil heaps and quarry workings along the River Maun created disturbed ground where Japanese knotweed has spread through old railway cuttings and the Sherwood Forest fringes near the town.
