Community Action Works: SafeLawns Helps Block Soil Drenching of Bee Killer

Posted by: Posted date: November 22, 2009 In: General | comment : 1

You may recall that SafeLawns took at leading role in Worcester, Mass., several weeks ago when government officials in that area were proposing to drench soil with the bee-killing pesticide known as imidacloprid.

Those of us involved celebrated a victory today when this article appeared in the Worcester newspaper — stating that soil drenching is no longer an option: http://www.telegram.com/article/20091121/NEWS/911210342/1116&Template=printart.

Chalk up a victory for community action!
