Knotweed in Barnsley
Barnsley's former coal mining heritage left widespread colliery spoil tips and disturbed ground along the River Dearne, where Japanese knotweed has colonised old railway lines and reclaimed pit sites throughout the borough.
Barnsley sits within our South Yorkshire coverage, where the main local pressure is don and dearne valleys, ex-colliery and steelworks land.
