Last September the Friends spent a morning clearing back holly around the  Japanese Knotweed growing near the picnic area so that it (the Knotweed) could be treated with glyphosate. The Knotweed is the light green plant to the left of the picture.

Today we had a look at the Knotweed to see how our work has fared and it was very pleasing to see that the Knotweed, though not yet eradicated, is now almost gone.  A further treatment this summer should finish it off once and for all.
