Dear Me,

I want to thank you so much for taking the time to report Japanese knotweed. I have forwarded your report to the City of Eugene. The report your submitted displays some valuable information on knotweed identification and control. Because this is on private land anyone wanting to address this infestations needs to get land owner permission. Sometimes the best approach is a friendly chat with the land owner and to provide some information.

We really value this report! Even if no one is able to control the population right away, your report is still extremely valuable as invasive species managers work to identify the most strategic sites to focus their efforts. Thanks again and please do keep on reporting invasive species!

Sincerely,
Tania
