Dear John,

Aerial spraying toxic chemicals — like Round-Up — to “manage” Maine’s forests is a bad idea. Unfortunately, this practice is on the rise in our state.

Join us at noon tomorrow for a Lunch & Learn with Senate President Troy Jackson about his bill to ban aerial spraying of glyphosate and other synthetic herbicides -- and how we can encourage a shift toward more ecologically friendly forestry practices. Also joining the conversation will be Heather Spalding, deputy director of MOFGA; Peter Hagerty, who brings 40 years of experience logging in Maine; Jim Gerritsen, from Wood Prairie Organic Farm; and Mitch Lansky, author of Low-Impact Forestry: Forestry As If The Future Mattered. 

Register here to join us!

I hope you can join us,
Will
 

ps. Banning aerial spraying is a priority of Maine’s Environmental Priorities Coalition! Learn more about the EPC’s 2021 agenda here, and stay tuned for upcoming Lunch & Learns on other priority bills.
