  1. There is likely a local forest management group (here is Nipissing Forest Resource Management) that has some authority over spraying, logging practices etc. They might have some info.

     

    Their number was on one of those signs near one of my borthers Speckled Trout creeks. It was Glycosphate as well.

     

    Sudbury CBC had a spot where an environmentalist nobody discussed this issue with professional forester...let's just say the forester sounded WAYYY more credible and actually provided some good information.

     

    What I took away from the spot, was that it's extremely diluted, has been extensively tested and it's just way cheaper than manual cutting.

     

    Are you saying that your buddy actually got sprayed-on (you said he felt 'rain' and tasted nickel. That potentially could be bad and should be reported to a doctor and the MNR for exposure.

    I hear ya.

     

    She told me it works very well for giving the softwoods a year or two growth advantage over hardwoods or the hardwoods just take over.

     

    She also said they have "military grade electronics to track the dispersal of glycophosphate" so she could look on her computer data to see if any had been near the road(my buddy was standing on)

     

    Then she started talking to me about foraging and fishing and she sounded totally clueless about nature, so it was an odd conversation.

     

    She was very pleasant and insightful

     

    Id just like to know how this effects the local wildlife

  2. Nobody finds it odd that the MNR head of forestry was not aware of this?

     

    Dont get me wrong, when I call resolute forest products they were very insightful and open. We talked for over an hour, about fishing and foraging, seemed like a great person.

     

    Anyhow, dumpimg mass quantities of glycophasphate on the bush troubles me

     

    And as nice as she was, she referred to the areas as "her plots" numerous times.

     

    She even asked for my name and phone number, said it was policy. I politely declined.

     

    She said well maybe ill see you up there and you can show me some plants to forage.

     

    Ummmmm ok
