Knotweed Results

Gene Brevold was one of seventeen people who helped cut and remove Knotweed (Elephant Ears)in Bayfield last Thursday. The plant is highly invasive and grows into a huge jungle in just a few months.

The treatment involved cutting the hollow stems and treating with a concentrated glycophosphate herbicide. For details on how to control this non-native plant, see the Homeowner's Guide to Knotweed.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the work and the sponsors: Apostle Islands Realty, National Park Service, Northwoods Cooperative Weed Management Area and Travel Green Wisconsin.
