Knotweed in Christchurch
Christchurch's confluence of the River Avon and River Stour has created disturbed floodplain ground where knotweed spreads readily, aided by former gravel extraction pits near the historic priory.
Christchurch sits within our Dorset coverage, where the main local pressure is stour and frome catchments, protected heathland and dense coastal plots.
