Knotweed in Wakefield
Wakefield's coal mining subsidence areas and the River Calder's disturbed floodplain, alongside former colliery spoil heaps, have allowed knotweed to establish extensively along the Calder and Hebble Navigation.
Wakefield sits within our West Yorkshire coverage, where the main local pressure is aire and calder valleys, mill sites and canal towpaths.
