Biography of John Kemp
Giant Hogweed Mitigation Project
John has been working to find and eradicate giant hogweed along the Grand River since 2010. His enthusiasm for eradicating this poisonous and aggressively invasive plant stems from his love of the outdoors. It started with Scouts when he was looking into local poisonous plants to teach young scouts, and his family, what to watch out for while exploring. Since then he has connected with local officials, landowners, and local outdoors groups - while attempting to increase the scale of the Giant Hogweed Mitigation Project. John has a patent and has published papers regarding his professional experience as an electronics product developer.
