Knotweed in Ely
Ely's position on the River Great Ouse amid the drained fenland has left extensive drainage dykes and old riverside wharves where knotweed has become established, spreading readily through the flat, waterlogged terrain.
Ely sits within our Cambridgeshire coverage, where the main local pressure is fenland drains, water-managed land and high-value garden plots.
