Continued Japanese Knotwood invasion makes for reminder from City of Prince Rupert


It was an issue for the community first identified in 2016 and while some progress has been made towards the encroachment of Japanese Knotwood, the City has provided an update on the ongoing efforts towards controlling the invasive species.

On Thursday the City used its social media feed to outline the latest status for the plant and how City residents can do their part to help eradicate it.


You can access the Japanese Knotweed Reporting form here.

We haven't heard much about the situation in recent years.Some of the past notes on the issue and the City's approach towards it can be reviewed below:
