Think Before You Spray

Weed Problem? Stop. Think. Protect.

Marin residents understand that spraying toxic chemicals on the weeds in our yards is a quick fix but not the best long-term solution. By using alternative weeding techniques, we can remove a source of unhealthy chemicals throughout the County.

A “weed” is usually just a plant growing where you don’t want it, and isn’t just dandelions and crabgrass, but things like tomato seedlings popping up in a flower bed. Knowing what kind of plant you’re dealing with can help you manage weeds more effectively.
