Dicamba—The Audubon Society’s Exposé on this herbicide that Boulder County is spraying.
Dicamba, one of the many herbicides being sprayed in Boulder County Open Space, is one of the most contested products on the market.
“Dicamba won’t stay put. Particles of any weedkiller can drift on the wind, but dicamba travels from its target without so much as a breeze. When temperatures are high enough—the exact threshold is uncertain—it evaporates, rises, and roams ghostlike across the landscape. It can become airborne days after it’s sprayed and drift for miles.”
Read the Audubon Society’s exposé of Dicamba and please write to your County Commissioners and let them know that a decision-making process that approves Dicamba for use on Boulder County’s Open Space is one that needs to change.
