Commentary

Hey, Sarah. Thanks for your report. We will note the location, but, at the moment, aren't actually treating new patches of knotweed. Knotweed's tenacity is outpacing our program's ability to eradicate it. That happens, sometimes.

But thanks for thinking of the hotline, just the same. Feel free to contact me directly (mitch.bixby@portlandoregon.gov) if you have questions.
