Sosnovsky hogweed.
 
If you have noticed patches of Sosnovsky hogweed where you live, the Keskkonnaamet (Environmental Board) should be informed, or you should at least check that the spot where you found the hogweeds is noted on its distribution map. Most colonies of this noxious weed are known and registered, but although there have been vigorous actions against it for some years already, there may well be new areas where it grows. It spreads very rapidly. Because of this the Keskkonnaamet asks the public and local authorities to look out for the Sosnovsky hogweed. More information on how to report an observation is given by the biologists of the Keskkonnaamet, telephone 7406814.
