Knotweed in Truro
Truro's tidal river confluence and former tin-related quays along the Truro River have left disturbed silty banks where knotweed spreads through old rail sidings near the cathedral city's industrial edges.
Truro sits within our Cornwall coverage, where the main local pressure is ex-mining land, mild maritime climate and long disposal runs.
