>  Hello Blomidon Naturalist Society,
> 
>  On Friday a determined and organized group of people here on the North Mountain, got together to plan actions against the aerial spraying of glyphosate in our neighbourhood.. We are taking a stand for the forests and the planet -- for all of us. I  am hoping you might be able to forward this along to the members of the  Blomidon Naturalist Society.  Thank you for any help you might be able to provide.

> August 29, 2020 — A recent decision by the Nova Scotia Dept. of Environment to approve aerial spraying of herbicides containing glyphosate, a probable human carcinogen, is meeting with determined opposition on a number of fronts. Woodland owners and residents on the North Mountain, who are opposed to aerial spraying on the 250 acres of lands owned by Five Islands Development Corp. (PID #55077747) on the North Mountain near Victoria Harbour, are commencing an urgent series of actions to:
> 
> Alert the public to the dangers of glyphosate use on woodlands.
> 
> Convince Nova Scotia Environment to rescind spraying approvals and end aerial herbicide spraying in favor of more environmentally sustainable and less dangerous methods.  
> 
> Convince Five Islands Developments, as a responsible corporate entity, to use sustainable forestry methods and be good non-resident landowning neighbors.
> 
> Prevent any spraying of these lands.
> 
> Planned actions include:
> 
> Protest demonstrations and marches. The first demonstration and march will be Thursday, September 3, 2020 4:00 – 6:00 pm Junction of McNally and Nollett Beckwith Roads - 3.5 km West from Long Point Road, Burlington, North Mountain
> 
> Public information meetings
> 
> Networking with other groups opposed to unsustainable forestry methods
> 
> 'Emergency Nature Walks' to increase awareness of this imminent threat, as lands may be sprayed as soon as Labour Day. These will include walks in sustainably-managed woodlots bordering the Meekin Brook, as well as walks up Nollett Beckwith Rd.
> 
> Demonstrations at Department of Environment Office in Kentville.
> 
> Further PSA's will be sent out as plans develop.
