Lewis Creek Association will hold an event at Cota Field (Starksboro) on May 5, 2-4 PM, in collaboration with the Starksboro Conservation Commission, to educate the community about how to identify Japanese knotweed, how to use iNaturalist to map its location in the Lewis Creek watershed, and to discuss our upcoming demonstration projects in Ferrisburgh and Starksboro. Mike Bald (consultant from Got Weeds?) will be there to discuss eradication strategies. Herbalist Sophie Cassel will also speak about how she uses knotweed to make medicine. The SCC will be recruiting volunteers for control of this plant in Starksboro. Light refreshments provided.
Please fill out this form to be added to LCA's knotweed mailing list (https://forms.gle/NyGbPDcLFqQ4yFn99), or feel free to just show up.
If you're interested in learning more about how to use iNaturalist for this or other projects, please download the app to your mobile device before you come to the event and set up an account online (at inaturalist.org or through the app) beforehand.
