This week we have Ngaio Richards, Amber Burch, and Josh Wagoner on to talk about how the Early Detection, Rapid Response Program in collaboration with the Working Dogs for Conservation utilizes dogs to find noxious weeds. They talk about their work in controlling Dyer's Woad in Montana, as well as other noxious weeds that the dogs are trained to identify.

Our guests provided some really great resources for anyone who might be interested, as well as the gear they use for protecting their dogs in the field.
