     • Due to its height, giant hogweed keeps other plants in the shade, preventing the sunlight from reaching them. This increases the risk of bank erosion when the weed dies off in the winter, exposing bare banks where other plants would normally grow.

   How does hogweed control work?

   • We take a catchment approach to our giant hogweed control and work on the source patches of hogweed first - i.e. those the furthest upstream. As areas are cleared our work moves gradually down river, including clearing the tributaries. Taking this strategic approach means that there is no risk of re-infection of the areas that have been controlled.

Hogweed populations are commonly found on riverbanks, as the seeds are readily dispersed downstream and deposited in the sediment.
