SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI: Japanese Knotweed Eradication

The Deer Creek Japanese Knoweed Control project is located in a wetlands area in a valley near the south and western boundary of the property of the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, 3221 S. Lake Drive, St. Francis, WI. The goal of this project is to elilminate the Japanese knotweed and to replace it with native species of plants that will keep it (and other invasive species, such as canary grass) from growing and spreading in the area. Their plans include initial cutting of the Japanese knotweed and then mowing approximately every other week during the growing season. On alternate weeks their licensed applicator plans to spray a broadleaf systemic herbicide to kill the knotweed.The Deer Creek Japanese Knoweed Control project is located in a wetlands area in a valley near the south and western boundary of the property of the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, 3221 S.
