Knapweed

Centaurea maculosa
You may have noticed that knapweed is becoming a big problem in our area. Yvonne Babij sends along this information:
"I just contacted the Southern Interior Weed Management Committee (SIWMC) regarding the use of bio-control on the knapweed that is sprouting up around Lac Le Jeune. They are a not-for-profit group funded by government and other sponsors to control noxious weeds. I have asked for Lac Le Jeune Park Drive East to be put on their list."
Here is some information about this invasive plant. If you have spotted knapweed in other areas around Lac Le Jeune, please contact SIWMC.
