Education

Education is a very high priority at our department. Many landowners that have noxious weeds on their property often do not even know they do. Once a weed is identified, it can feel overwhelming where to start with treatment activities. This is why we actively pursue education opportunities, and are constantly looking for new ones. 

Some of the current education activities that we participate in are high school presentations, town hall meeting presentations, and a fair booth at the Box Elder County Fair. Our supervisor, Wyatt, presents to various agriculture classes at Bear River and Box Elder High School, where he teaches of weed biology and identification. We also take the opportunity to attend various town hall meeting where we present on the weed law, our numerous programs, and on noxious weeds that are often found in that town. Lastly, ourselves and the County Weed Board hold a booth at the Box Elder County Fair. This gives the public the opportunity to ask questions, receive educational materials, and learn more about the responsibilities of our Department.

If you would like us to come present at one of your functions, please contact us!
