In the case of private individuals growing it, who refuse to remove it, a civil action may be taken against them by the local authority. That is if they are allowing it to be released into the wild. No! Yes! Please read the Act and the commentary again: Here is the Act: "Section 14(2) It is an offence for a person to plant or otherwise cause to grow in the wild any plant on Schedule 9 (Part 2)" I think the problem is that the plant part was tacked onto an animal act. Releasing into the wild has a clear meaning with animals and a not so clear meaning with plants. Does that mean you agree with me??? Can you give me the links to the whole act and it's various amendments. You gave the links yourself. Just click on 'Contents' at the foot of the page. That's by far the most accessible version with its commentaries. Or if you want to read the whole Act, as published, you can find it on: http://www.hmso.gov.uk/ Do many people cultivate hog weed in Uk gardens? If you mean *giant* hogweed, I know at least two, both of whom like it for its grandeur and looks, but are careful (a) not to touch it without gloves and (b) let it escape. -- Malcolm Ogilvie |
