Instruction was followed by a tour of Cache, Box Elder and Rich counties, where weed workers from throughout the state learned about aquatic weeds, saw them in their habitats and learned about best methods for controlling them. At Bear Lake, instructors from the Utah Department of Natural Resources, USU Extension Service, and Utah Department of Agriculture introduced the group to Eurasian milfoil, native northern milfoil and the hybrid version of milfoil. They discussed identification treatment and monitoring options.

Upon returning to Logan, the group stopped to look at a semi-aquatic weed, goatsrue, also known as professor weed. They also observed another aquatic weed, parrot feather, and wild licorice, which looks like goatsrue. At lunch, the group learned about how a biocontrol agent for Canada thistle works inside the stem of the plant, then moved onto Sardine Canyon, where they observed blooming rush skeleton weed, and small amounts of medusa head and dyers woad.
