Hello everyone 😊
At 3:30pm Me, Millie, Lauren and her new friend Jess all took a lovely walk to try and find the Abandoned church in fetterneer forest, sadly we were unable to find it! Though we did find plenty of what we think may be Giant Hogweed!
While walking your dogs in Fetterneer and around the river in kemnay please do take great caution if your dogs wander off the path. If you think it may be Giant Hogweed, to ensure the safety of you, whoever you may be with, and your dogs, keep them a safe distance!
These plants look very similar to their friendly counterpart, Common Hogweed, which is a much smaller, and non dangerous plant. You can tell the difference of their height, Colour and if you touch it (which i DO NOT RECOMMEND) YOU will receive severe burns.
Giant Hogweed can grow up to 5 meters in height and has a very thick, purple/brown stem.
Though common Hogweed is much smaller, about waist height, has a small green stem and is not dangerous to touch.
Please stay safe through the months of June to july where Giant Hogweed flowers!
