Lava Hot Springs - Knapweed

We have been working on this 50 acre project for the last two years. The area is about five miles south of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho and is heavily infested with spotted knapweed.



Employees from six different agencies joined man power and machines to attack the spotted knapweed problem.
