Thanks again for reporting knotweed. Your actions are extremely valuable. Knotweed is a very damaging plant and knowledge of its exising abundance and distribution is very important to land managers. I have notified the appropriate authorities in Springfield. Thanks again and please do keep on reporting knotweed and other damaging invaders.
