A plant that can cause severe skin burns and blisters is growing in locations across Greater Manchester. Experts say Giant Hogweed 'poses a serious risk' to those unaware of it and the harm it can cause.
A map from the website Planttrackers plots where instances of Giant Hogweed have been reported. It highlights a number of areas including in and around the city centre. There have also been a number of areas flagged in Clifton and Little Hulton in Salford, as in Bury, Bolton and Wigan.
There are also individual cases reported in Ashton-under-Lyne in Tameside and Cheadle Hulme in Stockport.
