We Support Our Foresty Industry and families. We do NOT support Spraying. Spraying Poison is obviously WRONG. Stop Spraying, Start Hiring ! Manually and mechanically thinning forests creates more jobs than spraying and saves the environment. A Win-Win situation all around! We are telling our Government and the Foresty Industry it is NOT ACCEPTABLE to spray herbicides on our forests and wildlife, people and homes. For more information, contact [email protected] To do something right now, write a letter to your local press, radio/newspapers etc. Contact the woodlot owners in your area and ask them to switch to FSC forestry..forestry that does not believe in chemicals!! Ask them to not spray near our communities. Call or Email the Minister of Environment, Mark Parent, and tell him we don\'t want spraying anymore! Its banned in other areas, we want it banned here...We pay taxes, we put these people into office, we need them to step up and we deserve to be protected! Spread the word! {PS- once you hit SIGN PETITION you might get a page asking for money.. this money request is not from us and doesn\'t go to us..this is just something this website does; you can just close the window or to see if your signature made it, just hit the back key, then click up above on SIGNATURES.}

Glyphosate spraying has one purpose - to produce single-species tree farms. This reduces biotic diversity and thus the long-term forest heritage of Nova Scotians. This damaging practice shoudl be banned.

This is criminal behavior. Spraying carcinogenic poisons instead of actually managing the forest. Dead plant material becomes a fire hazard once dried out from herbicides as well. Please stop this!!!!

Herbisicde spray was used in a wooded area around my home and my dog and I were outside in the yard when they dumped it and it landed on us and all over my yard and my dog and I had to run in the house because we're drowning with inhalation. Its been a couple of years now I'm having major health issues.

Now that a 289 million dollar case has been won against the carcinogenic death spray...maybe, I don't know, ban the stuff in Canada?

Spraying poisonous chemicals on our forests is ruinous on the forests, the animals, on the water system. It is senseless. Better to manually and mechanically manage thinning and providing real jobs while protecting the population and land ! I have already seen what damage your Agent Orange causes!!

what is wrong with hard wood forests, they are beautiful, prevent infestation and help heat our homes. Even make beautiful floors and furniture. Stop spraying for pulp and start supporting the people
