Knotweed in Taunton
Taunton's floodplain along the River Tone and the old Bridgwater and Taunton Canal have provided disturbed, damp corridors where Japanese knotweed thrives, spread further by railway embankments near Taunton station.
Taunton sits within our Somerset coverage, where the main local pressure is the levels, seasonal flooding and constrained valley access.
