Tips and tricks to getting rid of invasive plants
By Victoria Martin
Weekly Voice
EVART — To help the
Evart community learn
more about the invasive
species in the area and
how to deal with them,
the North Country Coop-
erative Invasive Species
Management Area hosted
a workshop.
Scheduled for two hours,
the workshop from 10 a.m.
to noon on Wednesday,
Aug. 21 in Riverside Park
East looked at the Japa-
nese knotweed and meth-
ods to getting rid of the
invasive species.
Although not as common
as wild parsnip, NCCISMA
Invasive Species Tech Zach
Peklo said Japanese knot-
weed is becoming more
and more of a staple, espe-
cially, around older homes.
“You know how lilacs
are common near older
homes? Japanese knot-
weed is becoming just as
much of a staple of the old-
timey homes,” he said.
With a root system that
can go as deep as 15 feet
into the ground and spread
as wide as 60 feet away
from the initial stalk,
Peklo said Japanese knot-
weed can be very resilient.
“With such a deep root
system, you cannot just
uproot it and as soon as the
plant is disturbed it will
shoot up another stalk 60
feet away,” he said. “So the
plant can get very out of
hand very quickly.
The plant’s resilience is
what brought Evart Lo-
cal Development Finance
Authority Director Melora
Theunick to the workshop.
Prior to the workshop,
Theunick had been bat-
tling Japanese Knotweed
for years and was having

had a few tips for those

“I am very thankful for be-
ing able to attend the free
workshop and now I can
try my hand at getting rid
of the knotweed.”
Though getting rid of
invasive plants is impor-
tant, Peklo said it can get
costly. But, thanks to grant
money, NCCISMA can help
homeowners not have to
spend hundreds or thou-
sands of dollars to get rid
of invasive species.
The cost-share program
is intended for landown-
ers who do not want to

treatments on their own
and, thanks to grants, can
halve the price of treating
invasive patches.
The species applicable
for the cost-share program
are garlic mustard, glossy
and common buckthorn,

weed, phragmites, oriental
bittersweet, wild parsnip,

“You also want to check
the label to make sure that
what you are getting is
right for the area you are
using it in.”
For their demonstration
on Wednesday, Peklo and
Johnson were using an
aquatic solution formula-
tion of glyphosate.
“For a job like this we
want to use something that
is not going to have all the
stuff that will hurt the
