Link not working but if the plant you refer to is the Giant Hogweed it is something to steer well clear of. It grows taller than a human and looks like cow parsley although it's sap causes severe blistering of the skin, especially in the presence of sunlight, so don't even try to tackle it by hand.

Managed to get the link to work. Pretty much says what I wrote. It's a nasty beast of a plant.

Link didn't work for me either!1

Thanks suemc ~ sorry for the incorrect posting of the site, just simply did not know hoe to do so on this board.

On another board I belong to, got a reply with a map showing just where the distribution of the weed has been reported. (hope this works better!)

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:152987}}
