| Common Ragwort, Senecio jacobaea - pretty and now coming into flower, but poisonous to grazing animals, particularly horses and cattle. Pull out by the root and dispose of the whole plant - don't leave it around to dry out. | A new Parish Council wayside seat like this was recently stolen from the turning to Trewalder from West Downs. The previous memorial seat was also stolen. Any information to the Parish Clerk please. |
