This project assed and controlled knotweed in seven river systems throughout the Hood Canal; the Union River, the Tahuya River, the Dewatto River the Dosewallips and Duckabush Rivers and the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers. Knotweed infestations cause damage to the riparian corridor, harm to juvenile salmonids, and is costly to control when the damage becomes severe. Our goals were to continue with: Our third year of control and assessment of knotweed species in the Union Dosewallips and Dewatto Rivers, second year of knotweed control and assessment on the Tahuya River, riparian plantings of native conifers and shrubs on the Union, Dewatto and Tahuya Rivers and knotweed control efforts and riparian plantings on the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers and survey for knotweed on the Duckabush River. Our secondary goal was to continue to educate the public about knotweed impacts on salmon habitat.
