Please join CFOV board members at the North Arm Trailhead in Eden. The goal of this project is to help reduce and eradicate dyer’s woad, which is threatening the native plant community of our local area. Invasive weed species threaten the ecological integrity and biological diversity of native plant communities within the project area, and are causing adverse impacts to recreation, wildlife, agriculture, and other important social and resource values. The target weed is dyer’s woad, but there are other weeds that are also in need of pulling such as puncture vine, dalmation toadflax, myrtle spurge, leafy spurge, yellow starthistle, whitetop, burdock, and hounds tongue. Control methods will include hand pulling and digging out roots. Participants should wear protective clothing, long pants, close-toe shoes, hat, and long-sleeve shirts, and gloves. It is also suggested that you bring lots of drinking water. Please bring your own shovels or other eradication tools. Please join the CFOV, and the Ogden Valley community as we work to protect our land by preventing the spread of state-listed noxious weeds in Weber County. For more information, please contact Ron Lackey at 801-815-1018. Pictured above are two young Great Horned Owls raised in the yard of Jack Prince’s Eden home.
