NEIGHBORS Juneau Empire I'd like to extend a thank you to the volunteers and agencies that helped with a Bohemian (commonly referred to as Japanese) knotweed 'smother.' The UAF Cooperative Extension Service Juneau District office along with the Forest Service, Juneau Watershed Partnership and Parks and Recreation implemented a small Bohemian knotweed eradication project this summer. Our goal is to eradicate a dense, moderately sized patch of knotweed along the lake without the use of pesticides. If successful then local homeowners may have another option for fighting this 'take over your yard' weed.

Thanks for contributing to weed removal project
