We were walking the beach and the pier, for the first time. Then we came upon 3 signs blocking our way that said— No trespassing Private Beach. There was a young man, probably a summer high school worker. His was up- hill from us.
He was working with small shears on Japanese Knot Weed. I asked him if he had told the weeds to — Go back were you came from. But the kid was not interested in conversation. He grabbed some cuttings and walked away from us toward the wheelbarrow. As he returned I shouted — Did you tell them to go back to Japan. He said “ I don’t know what these weeds are. I only know that I was told to cut them out”. Then a man came out of the closest house and went to the edge of his lawn and shouted “ I’m glad somebody is getting rid of those Knot Weeds. They are a noxious weed!” The poor kid was getting it from both angles. NB.
