Grab your tube and join the Sheepscot Knotweed Project for a float down the beautiful Sheepscot River from Head Tide Dam to Dock Road in Alna! We will enjoy the scenery while getting a fish-eye view of the problematic knotweed growing along the river bank. There will be opportunities to ask the organizers questions about managing knotweed and informational handouts to help you tackle knotweed on your property. Bring your own tube and come to learn, float, and have fun!
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Sheepscot Knotweed Project at sheepscotknotweedproject@gmail.com. If you are interested in learning more about managing Knotweed, come join our free Knotweed Management Workshop Saturday, August 6th 10am-12pm @Trout Brook Preserve in Alna.
