Herbicide
Project

The Herbicide Project began in 1993 in Northern New Hampshire
when residents of the small town of North Stratford were notified
of a plan to aerially spray hundreds of acres of forest land, dangerously
close to our places of residence. Although we were not able to stop
the spraying, the Herbicide Project was formed, and continues to
research and educate local communities about use of herbicides in
forestry. The Project is also active in Maine, where it has provided
support and technical information to local communities organizing
to stop aerial herbicide spraying.
