This particular removal is an ongoing pilot project City Stream Watch has been working on for many years trying to reduce the plant density of the Knotweed in this area. 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.
If you are interested in participating, please RSVP
