There is so much beauty in the magical outdoors. But even though some things are beautiful, which
Its name is Dyers Woad. It was introduced to Utah in 1932 from England. I was so blessed to be a Boy Scout leader for 7 years. There is a County bounty that pays $10 for each bag of Dyers Woad. The counties in a lot of our communities pay the $10 bounty for each bag and they supply the bags. So I would take the Boy Scouts on a community outing and we all would learn about Mother Nature and pick and dig up this beautiful flower that is not good for the environment. The kids would learn how to work hard to have a reward for doing something that yes is hard work, but something that teaches them to be a steward of the outdoors protecting all of our natural resources.It is a wonderful learning experience to be in the outdoors seeing all of the beautiful things that are so prevalent, like the other wild things.
The cool thing is all of us spending time together cleaning up the outdoors making a better place for the wild things that belong in the outdoors.
So we would pull this noxious weed out of the ground and turn it into the county, and then get paid for our efforts. We took the money and went and got double cheese burgers, fries or onion rings, a drink or ice cream shake.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to clean up our communities, help wild life, make some money, and then all go together and talk about what we all saw and did together.
Plus get a big reward when we are all together making not only our communities better but having a big reward like double cheese burgers and fries just for paying attention to things that are beautiful but need to be controlled and be gone so more beautiful things that help all things can have a better chance to survive
