Location

There is a 40 acre plot of land just off the end of Easterday road west of Forest Grove off of Stringtown Rd which has been a haven for Golded Rod/Schotch broom for the past several years. It was logged off and no replanting has happened. Those of us who are actively fighting this pest worry that we are wasting our time with such flagrant cases flourishing.
