Commentary
Dear Catherine,
Thanks for submitting all of these knotweed locations. Knotweed is a high priority for rapid response when it occurs in or near a waterway. I will forward your report to the Middle Fork Willamette watershed council to evaluate for a possible control action. Thanks again, your reports are highly valued! Please keep on reporting. (If possible, for next time, it would be great if you could submit a separate report for each location so we can populate our database with all the locations.)
Take care! Tania
