2023 Herbicide Spray Matrix- AVCA
The below is a summary of the herbicides sprayed by month and location in Aliso Viejo. The majority of the parks are sprayed continuously every single month with multiple herbicides. Four of those parks are sprayed with as many as 7 different herbicides within ONE MONTH! We believe that this toxic practice is bordering on reckless and negligent at best.
Please ask yourself this question - would you take your kids or walk your dog at a park that's been sprayed 7 times in the past 30 days?
