Private property. No public access without permission. Will remove ASAP once IDed, unless a native (fingers crossed). Not sure how it got here if it is fireweed...

Thanks for the ID Michael and Steve. Will black bag and cook in sun before disposing. I have let my nearest neighbour know to be on the lookout as well. Cheers, Sandra
