Beyond Toxics has been involved with grassroots efforts to battle pesticide drift in Lane County since 2005, including:

  • Formation of Oregon Pesticide Action Working Group (OPWG)
  • Carrying out two years of the Highway 36 Adopt-A-Landscape no-spray roadside project
  • Hosting dozens of town hall meetings
  • Ongoing outreach programs to rural communities
  • Communication with several state agencies about the problem of pesticide trespass
  • Panel presentations at the annual PIELC (e-law) conferences
  • Publishing reports on the implications of pesticide exposure

The investigation by state and federal agencies into pesticide exposure at Triangle Lake (Lane County, Oregon) began in response to the discovery that 2,4D and atrazine were showing up in the urine of dozens of local residents, including school children.
