City Stream Watch is returning to Sawmill Creek this Saturday to tackle a patch of invasive Japanese knotweed that we have been working on for the past few years. This particular removal is an ongoing pilot project City Stream Watch has been working on trying to reduce the plant density of the Knotweed in this area. The good news is: it’s working! The size of the patch has reduced significantly but we still need to be diligent and keep working at it. We will be removing the plant by hand and with the use of shovels and rakes to remove root and rhizome material. We will meet up in the south (back end) of the Towngate Parking lot for 9:00AM. We will provide some snacks/beverages, but ask that you do bring along a water bottle.
