Excellent post, Ruth. I've never really understood why ragwort is so actively removed from so many places where animals aren't grazed! I can on the other hand understand farmers removing it from fields, even if in fact they're being over cautious.

I've noticed more ragwort around this year, I hadn't realised that this was probably due to the recent droughts, as you point out. Three don't seem to be as many cinnabar moth caterpillars around this year though, not yet anyway.
