Our goal is to send the evil invasive weed Dyers Woad ‘running’ from
City Creek Canyon! Stop this year’s seed crop from spreading by hand
pulling as much Dyers Woad as possible.
Dyers Woad (Isatis tinctoria) is on Utah’s noxious weeds list because it
reduces wildlife forage, ruins native plant communities and damages
cropland. The best way to get rid of Dyers Woad is to pull it. Since the
first ‘Woad Runner’ in 2006, we have only seen a 10% return rate of this
noxious weed in areas that were pulled.
Everyone from the City Creek loving public is invited to come take part
in this community event! For more information contact Vanessa Welsh by
