INVASIVE SPECIES TREATMENT NOTICE

The Oakland County Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (Oakland County CISMA), through its fiduciary Six Rivers Land Conservancy, in conjunction with the Village of Beverly Hills hereby provides notice to the public and property owners for the control of invasive plant Bohemian knotweed (Fallopia x bohemica) in Riverside Park. Crews will be working at Riverside Park to treat the invasive species this summer.

Funding for this project is available through a grant to the Oakland County CISMA/Six Rivers Land Conservancy through the Michigan Invasive Species Grant Program. Oakland County CISMA is a collaboration of organizations to support functioning ecosystems and enhance quality of life through invasive species management (https://oaklandinvasivespecies.org/).

Bohemian knotweed is a highly destructive invasive plant that can break through house foundations, sidewalks, and other infrastructure, as well as having adverse impacts on native plants and animals. We want to stop its spread in your area. If you see knotweed, or have any other questions about invasive species, please contact Erica Clites, Oakland County CISMA Director (see contact information below).
