How Is Giant Hogweed Treated in Wales?
Giant hogweed sap burns skin on contact with sunlight, so treatment is carried out in full protective clothing. Plants are sprayed or stem-injected in spring before they flower, and any flower heads are cut and bagged to stop seeding. One plant drops thousands of seeds that stay viable in the soil for years, which is why a programme runs over several seasons.
What Are the Rules on Giant Hogweed in Wales?
Giant hogweed is listed in Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, so planting it or causing it to grow in the wild is an offence in Wales. Natural Resources Wales regulates disposal of the waste.
