This writer warns about giant hogweed growing alongside the waterfront walkway around the Nico-Wynd golf course.

Editor,

I think the public should be made aware that there is a lot of giant hogweed, which can cause very nasty skin irritations and even blindness if eyes touched, growing alongside the Nicomekl River waterfront walkway around the Nico-Wynd golf course.

I have notified Surrey Parks. Where I noticed it is close to the northern end of the golf course waterfront. (Picture attached above.)
