Knotweed Control Program

Knotweed is an invasive plant from Asia that spreads aggressively and has the potential to cause great harm to local habitats and salmon runs. Since the spring of 2010, the Pierce Conservation District has been leading knotweed eradication efforts within both the Nisqually River and South Prairie Creek watersheds.

Restoration Plantings

The District works with private and public landowners to restore native habitats. These projects often involve the removal of invasive weeds and the establishment of native trees and shrubs to improve the quality and function of local habitats. Many of these projects involve citizen volunteers in events that not only improve the quality of our natural areas, but also help build community and a sense of stewardship.

Landowner Assistance

District staff are available to meet with landowners to discuss options for improving, enhancing, or restoring native habitats.
