Volunteers were outside the La Honda Post Office recently petitioning to stop the spraying of Round-Up in our area.
On the LH message board, Kathryn Ryan says, "If you do not like the spraying of Round-Up on our country roads, you can call to request that it be stopped. You can also request that they not spray around your own home, especially important if you have pets that are allowed outside...Pescadero residents spoke out and stopped the spraying on their country roads in the 1990's. Call Public Works Director Neil Cullen 363-4100 or Supervisor Rich Gordon 363-4569..."
A thread started from Kathryn Ryan's message #10595 with some local residents worried about the health hazards of Round-Up while others convinced that it is perfectly safe. One post by dddowling2002 (post #10636) has a good summary and links of its potential health hazards, while poster Mr152 believes Round-Up is safe (post #10622)
