Giant Hogweed Warning
Beware the Giant Hogweed! Apart from their relentless ‘infiltration’ across our countryside and crowding out our native plants, this scary-looking plant is very dangerous to humans and animals. If the sap gets onto the skin and reacts with sunlight, it can cause severe burns and blisters.
NHS advice is to wash any affected areas as soon as possible with water and a little soap.
​
Riverside Community Council recently carried out a survey of the locations of Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegezzianum) (GH) in the Riverside area, to help direct Stirling Council to the worst affected areas on public land. Spraying will be starting at the end of April/beginning of May.
​
Identified areas can be seen on the below map and more detailed information can be found on our Riverside Environment page (including access to the map online, which will be updated with any addition findings). Many of the plants have also been taped, to flag their location, as illustrated below.​

Finding your way in Stirling
Go Forth Stirling and Stirling Council are working together to make sure that everyone who visits and lives in Stirling finds it easy and enjoyable to navigate around the city of Stirling.
We want to understand why you visit and how you get around within the city. We're especially keen to hear about how we can improve signage and other navigational infrastructure like information boards to help people get to where they want to go and to feel confident in exploring more of our city.
Whether you're a resident, visitor, or business we want to hear your opinions. By taking part in the survey you'll be helping us to improve city centre directions and information for everyone here and make Stirling an even better place to visit, work, study, and live. This survey will take around 10 minutes to complete.
