State Plans to Conduct Aerial Spraying of Pesticide to Eradicate Light Brown Apple Moth |
|
 In August the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) plans to begin aerial spraying over several urban areas in Marin County as part of its effort to eradicate the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM). LBAM is an invasive pest that the CDFA claims poses an immediate threat to our natural environment, food systems, and economy.
Currently, Fairfax is not included in the area proposed for spraying; however, spraying is planned for neighboring communities, could occur as often as every 30 days for three to five years, and could spread beyond the current spray zone.
We will be tracking this issue and will update
this site whenever there are relevant developments. Here are additional websites with useful information on this issue.
