PVCA is on a mission to remove invasive Japanese Knotweed from our watershed, and we need your help! If you are unfamiliar with Japanese Knotweed, it is an aggressive invasive that can rapidly take over an area, subsuming everything around it. If you see it anywhere in Penns Valley, please let us know using the form on this page!
PVCA will then approach the landowners, and if they agree, arrange for a multi-year treatment plan that includes replanting with natives – all at our own expense!
What does knotweed look like? Refer to the photos here and check out a complete write-up from PSU Extension.
