Knotweed in Leeds
Leeds' former textile mills and extensive canal network, including the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, have left brownfield riverside land along the Aire Valley where knotweed spreads through old rail corridors.
Leeds sits within our West Yorkshire coverage, where the main local pressure is aire and calder valleys, mill sites and canal towpaths.
