Noxious weeds are invasive plant species that pose serious threats to ecosystems, agriculture, native plant communities, and our economy.
They out-compete native vegetation, reducing food for wildlife and domesticated animals. Dyers woad (Isatis tinctoria) is a highly invasive plant originating in Europe, introduced into North America as a source of blue dye. It infests disturbed sites, rangelands, pastures, roadsides, and cultivated fields; and seeds are easily dispersed on animal fur, clothing, shoes and vehicles.
How You Can Help Volunteer:
Bag ‘O Woad
An informational meeting was held Thursday, April 3, from 6:00- 7:30 pm at the Cache Event Center (Fairgrounds). At that time official bags and tickets were distributed (limit of 20 bags). However, if you missed the meeting, stop by any office to obtain bags and instructions. Once filled, the bags may be returned with tickets to exchange for cash and inclusion in a raffle for prizes donated by participating businesses.
Drop off bags filled with Dyers Woad Thursdays from 5:30- 7:00 PM to Cache County Weed Department locations:
April 10- 24- Hyrum, 1020 E 600 N
April 17, May 1- Richmond, 161 N 900 W
Additional bags may be obtained on the same evenings.
Weeds must be pulled or dug from the ground, including roots. Wear proper clothing, gloves and shoes. Bring a shovel or heavy duty weeding tools for hard, rocky soil. Safety first!
