A handful of spotted knapweed sites were revisited in 2009 and no SK plants were found at those sites. These sites include the Ketchikan location (reported by Tom Heutte), and 4 of the 5 sites on POW (reported by Kristin Lease). The 4th site on POW, known as the Wiseagle Site, was surveyed and pulled by Lease and other FS employees.
No update is known yet for the Kate infestation.

At the 24 mile site, 10- 15 plants were found and pulled. At 11 mile, no plants were found. Tyler Stuart (TWC) has agreed to revisit sites throughout the remainder to the 2009 growing season and pull any additional spotted knapweed plants that are found.
