Dear Sharon,
Thank you for reporting garlic mustard! This is a high priority species in the Portland area. I will forward your report to the East Multnomah SWCD and the local cooperative weed management area. If you would like more information about efforts to control garlic mustard, and learn how you can get involved, you can contact East Multnomah SWCD at www.emswcd.org.
Thanks again for reporting! Keep up the good work!
