COMMENTS DEADLINE re: Siuslaw National Forest Drone Spraying

August 7 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Siuslaw National Forest is developing a new approach to treating invasive weeds and is asking for public comment.

Ten herbicides are already approved for use in the Suislaw, three of which, including glyphosate, are listed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture as pesticides of concern. The Forest Service’s proposal would add new herbicides and would allow aerial spray by drone. The attached notice from the Forest Service gives more information. 

If you don’t want more herbicides and drone sprays in the Suislaw, your comments should be submitted to the Forest Service by Wednesday, August 7, 2024
