Invasive Knotweed Control Workshops

The workshop will be held on May 5, 2016 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at Maple Valley Library, 21844 SE 248th St, Maple Valley, WA. 98038.

IKnotweed is a major concern in King County. This group of non-native, noxious weed chokes out native vegetation, increases erosion, degrades water quality and hurts habitat for fish and wild life. It can also damage roads, pipes, and building foundation.

The City of Maple Valley is in partnership with King County Noxious Weed Control Program, providing a free and open to the public workshop in Maple Valley.

The workshop will be held on May 5, 2016 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at Maple Valley Library, 21844 SE 248th St, Maple Valley, WA. 98038.
