Knotweed in Wigan
Wigan's former coal mining subsidence flashes and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpaths have created disturbed wetland edges where knotweed thrives, spreading from old colliery spoil heaps into Wigan Flashes nature reserve.
Wigan sits within our Greater Manchester coverage, where the main local pressure is river valleys, mill land and city-centre regeneration sites.
