Ragwort!!!

We have noticed alot of Ragwort on road verges, fields, gardens and paddocks this year. We wanted to remind everyone how dangerous this plant can be and that it needs to be pulled up from the root. Horses and ponies will eat the plant, sometimes without even realising it. It is just as dangerous in a dry/ dead form, as the alkaloids that damage the liver are still present.

Please do not leave it to chance and pull it up!! However once pulled do not put it on the muck heap, bin it or burn it.
