Japanese knotweed is an invasive riparian area plant. It was introduced for the flowers and intriguing plant structure for gardens. It readily escaped and now spreads throughout river and stream systems. This DDM was created to demonstrate the spread and presence of knotweed in the Deerfield River watershed. This is important because removal programs require the knowledge of the locations of knotweed to locate focus areas. This DDM also helps as an educational tool to understand the dynamics behind Japanese knotweed.

The purpose of this Dynamic Digital Map is to (1) provide a visual tour of knotweed infested locations, (2) present details including various map products, images, and data in a dynamic and interactive way and (3) create a format for future study of the watershed.
