Hogweed in Reykjavík
Giant hogweed plants are large, invasive species that crowd out other vegetation and can cause severe burns. That's why Reykjavík City wants to control their spread.
A new information page on Reykjavík's website and video explain how to identify these plants, what dangers they pose and how to safely get rid of them. Three types of hogweed are found in Reykjavík: giant hogweed, common hogweed, and Persian hogweed.
