https://eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front-office/eplanning/planAndProjectSite.do?methodName=dispatchToPatternPage&currentPageId=103620  <= You may submit your comments via this website, too.

Most people residing in Josephine/Jackson Counties are not aware of this BLM PROPOSAL to apply 15 kinds of chemical plant poisons (herbicides) to an estimated 1,500 acres each year for the next 20 years!!

Please respond to the BLM’s plan for expanding the use of herbicides on public lands.

The expansion of their existing weed management plan will apply to more lands, more species, and will use a greater variety of toxic products. Herbicide application on our public lands will threaten our drinking water and expose our families, animals, and wildlife to even more toxic chemicals.

Please submit comments via email since time is running out! Thank you for fitting this in with little time left.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH is the DEADLINE!!

  1. Why are they not already applying these herbicides over the District Of Columbia? It is overrun with “Invasive Species”.

    1. And bugs and worms and microorganisms and land and water and people and all living things. Some say the thing they hate the most is air because it fills the lungs and sends oxygen to brains and accentuates thinking. They hate air.
