Japanesse Knotweed Invasive Species Workshop
Knotweed – aka Michigan Bamboo or Mexican Bamboo – is becoming a major problem in SW Michigan. This non-native invasive plant can damage roads, pipes, sewer lines and building foundations. It also chokes out native vegetation, increases erosion, degrades water quality and hurts habitat for fish and wildlife. This workshop will address:
• How invasive knotweed grows and spreads
• How, when, and where to control knotweed
• Techniques to prevent the spread of knotweed
• Walk outside to identify knotweed after presentation
