HONEYVILLE — On their hands and knees in a rural northern Utah canyon on a Monday morning, two scientists peer at the ground trying to determine whether traditional seed protection practices or a pasta machine may be the best way to fight invasive weeds threatening Utah's rangelands. "We use a bunch of these different resources and we have a responsibility to put the environment back, at least to a functioning habitat," said Maggie Eshleman, a restoration scientist for The Nature Conservancy. Seed technology keeps growing as evidenced by Eshleman and her fellow precision restoration technician, Chris Donovan, precariously searching the soil in a plot next to Honeyville in Box Elder County.
