A workshop titled Safely Using Herbicides in Forestry is designed to introduce forest owners and natural resource professionals to when and where herbicides can be considered as part of a forest management strategy, and how to safely and effectively use herbicides in a forest environment.

Topics to be covered include: herbicides for reforestation, forest brush control/conifer release, spraying for noxious weeds in forest environments, the fate of herbicides in forest environments, reading and interpreting pesticide labels, and Idaho laws related to herbicide applications in forests. The program will conclude with field activities on calibrating and using backpack sprayers and herbicide application safety tools.
