Japanese knot weed is plant form japan also known as Japanese bamboo. The goal of Shogun Knot Swat is to inform people on the removal and mitigation of the plant. The website is used to let people know what the plant looks like and where Japanese Knotweed most likely resides. Japanese Knotweed is a bamboo looking plant that is most commonly found along the shores of streams, rivers, and other water bodies. It is a green plant with triangle shaped leaves. The plant is loosely rooted in the shore and does not mitigate erosion as well as the local fauna. It stops local fauna from being along shores because once emplaced it chokes and steals the land and water that other plants need to live. Once work to mitigate the spread of Japanese Knotweed is accomplished then the application of the local fauna can be introduced and will work better at soil erosion mitigation. The weeks following this post there will be posts about that week’s accomplishments and the plans on what to do. The group will be looking into specific locations where it is found. Along with different ways to remove Japanese Knotweed from your local area. As well as other local plants that can mitigate soil erosion better that Japanese Knotweed. Weekly timeline: Week one will consist of the main idea and goal of the group and the website Week two is going to be what the plant looks like and ways of removal Week three will include places in Northfield Vermont where Japanese Knotweed is located and routes which the plant can use to spread. Week 4 and the final deliverable will be a last report which will be a culmination of all the work the group has done. The end goal of the overall project is to inform the public on the effects that Japanese knotweed has on the local environment.
