Hi Brenda,
I thought you would like to know the outcome of the knotweed report you submitted on August 23, 2009.
This report was forwarded to Glen Brady, Weed Program Manager Douglas Soil & Water Conservation District. Here is his response: 10/26/2009 Hi Tania, We didn't have that site on our list, but it is now. We found it this afternoon. It is quite a ways from the creek - probably an old homestead planting or something. Thanks for alerting us! We will put it into our treatment plans.
