Birkin work party, Hogweed clearance
Giant hogweed is a nuisance on the Birkin where it will be a battle to eradicate. It can be kept down year by year before it seeds. Over time this will thin out the new yearly growth. If you come across Giant Hogweed do not touch as the sap can cause serious skin blistering. Instead report the location of the plant to the head waterkeeper.
To help with Hogweed eradication on the Birkin BM work parties embark on a program of removal.
