The River to River CWMA has updated its map of known locations for Japanese chaff flower. Currently, chaff flower is found in 9 counties in southern Illinois, mostly along the Ohio and Cache Rivers. The CWMA is planning further survey efforts for this summer and fall to look for new infestations as well.
