I am writing to request that you take immediate action to stop the use of toxic herbicides on Boulder County Parks and Open Space natural lands. Please do not approve the recent version of the Integrated Weed Management Plan as drafted.
I am particularly concerned about aerial spraying of herbicides on the county’s high biodiversity areas, e.g., Rabbit Mountain and Heil Valley Ranch. These natural areas are irreplaceable on a global scale (ranked by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program at CSU) and absolutely should not targeted for aerial spraying of herbicides with unknown long-term impacts to address a species (cheatgrass) that is not even a major problem in this area or a high priority species (List C) for control in the county. (Why not address cheatgrass with early livestock grazing as tested and demonstrated by ARS scientists?). According to experts, Indaziflam/Rejuvra is known to sterilize the soil, reduce soil microbes and invertebrates, area toxic to aquatic organisms, small mammals and have unknown longterm impacts on pollinators. Note the results of the recent Colorado Native Pollinating Insects Health Study. Do not be swayed by Bauer or other chemical companies promoting and/or funding the use of these chemicals. According to local scientist Dr. Hunter Lovins, Bayer’s warning on the label says do not graze or feed livestock after grazing-what about impacts on our native deer, elk and other mammals and birds?! Please incorporate the expertise of well-respected CU Professor Emeritus Dr. Tim Seastedt and other local exerts into the County’s weed management planning. I am very concerned about the impact of herbicides and pesticides on our pollinators, native plants, natural communities, wildlife, soil and human health, particularly in the face of a climate change crisis.
The citizens of Boulder County have voiced their strong opposition to aerial spraying of herbicides and support for scientifically based approaches to protecting our natural lands, addressing biodiversity loss and restoring ecosystems. These include targeted goat and cattle grazing; prescribed burns followed by seeding of native species, and manual or mechanical control and restoration, and long-term monitoring.
Thank you for taking immediate action toward regenerating the health of our county lands by halting the use of toxic herbicides. Let’s be the leader in sustainable management of our natural lands!
Sincerely,
Betsy Neely
Boulder, Colorado
