!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

Come help install native plants  in a plot that is being controlled to eradicate Invasive Japanese knotweed. Learn about the process by pitching in.

On this site, we have completed three years of Nix the Knotweed, which is three cuts for three years. We are going to fill the vacuum formed by the weakened knotweed with native plants to compete with and hopefully prevent the knotweed from coming back. The knotweed roots are very weakened but it will come back without intervention and maintenance. With invasive plant control, one must either nurture the native plants that emerge naturally or plant new native plants to replace the invasives.

Bring gardening tools such as shovels, trowels, gloves. Bring bottle of water to drink. Snacks will be provided.

Registration Appreciated: (walk-ins welcome)
