Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a report of your knotweed find. This is very important information as we work to slow the spread of this very damaging species. I will forward this information to the ODA and the Watershed Council so they may be aware and integrate this into their knotweed control strategy. It seems a location close to a creek would need priority for control, however with limited resources for weed control it may not be controlled right away. Thanks again for your time and please keep on reporting!
Sincerely,
Tania
