Field trip to the MTU commuter parking lot on Garnet St. (Houghton, MI).
Joined by Jill Fisher (Forestry Dept., MTU) and Meryl Jackson (Houghton & Keweenaw Conservation District), we learned about japanese knotweed. We were fortunate to be able to help evaluate the effectiveness of several different treatments, and see first-hand how difficult it is to remove japanese knotweed from an area once it is established.
