Weed killers
In message , Martin
writes It's against the law not to destroy Giant Hogweed, if you find it on your property. How can anybody retail it legally? It is not exactly against the law not to destroy GH - Under section 14 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it can be an offence to plant or grow specified plants in the wild, including Giant Hogweed and Japanese Knotweed. Problems involving these plants can be referred to the local authority for the area where these weeds are growing as some local authorities have by-laws controlling these plants. There is no statutory requirement for landowners to remove these plants from their property. This information from NERC may be of interest http://tinyurl.com/29qhf7 -- Robert |
