~ CHILDREN & PESTICIDES ! ~ ~ HOW CAN ANYONE ALLOW PESTICIDE-HATING FANATЖCS NEAR CHILDREN ?!?! ~ On the issue of children & pesticides. Pesticide-hating fanatжcs are WRONG !!! There is NO emerging science. There is NO health risk. There is NO laundry list of pesticides. There are NO REAL incidents near schools. There are NO children who are vulnerable. There are NO children at risk from pesticides. ~ However. On the issue of children & pesticides. Pesticide-hating fanatжcs will conveniently IGNORE the following PESTICIDE TRUTHS !!! - See below. ~ There IS a laundry list of threats of harm to children - a list that does not include pesticides. ~ There ARE children who will be HARMED by developmental disfunction & psychological abuse by those pesticide-hating fanatжcs that may include parents & relatives. ~ There are children who will be HARMED by exposure to the paranoia, the mindless hate-speech, & the subversive-conspiracies perpetrated by pesticide-hating fanatжcal-loved-ones. ~ There are children who will be HARMED by these fanatжcs. ~ Clearly, there WILL BE children who will be HARMED by exposure to mindless hate-speech & psychological abuse. ~ Ultimately, there WILL BE children who will be HARMED because of adults present in their lives who are pesticide-hating fanatжcal-extremists. ~ There WILL BE children who will be HARMED by the twisted-paranoia & the subversive-conspiracies of their fanatжcal-parents. ~ Sadly, someday, there WILL BE children who will be HARMED sufficiently to become just like the fanatжcal-adults whose mindless hate-speech has showed them how to hate & despise pesticides. ~ When the children become adults, they WILL serve absolutely NO useful purpose to society, just like their pathetic fanatжcal-parents. ~ If fanatжcal-parents truly care about their children, they will CEASE & DESIST all of their mindless hate-speech & valueless paranoid-conspiracies - for the sake of their children ! ~ How can anyone allow pesticide-hating fanatжcs near children ?!?! ~ ~ CHILDREN ARE EXPLOITED AS WEAPONS ULTIMATE TERRЖR ! ~ In public anti-pesticide forums, young fanatжcal-mothers are easily identifiable because they like publicly dressing in spandex, & are often paid-for-profit to disrupt the proceedings by making their young children or babies cry. ~ Crying & bawling is often not difficult since many of these kids are often abused by starvation with inferior organic food. ~ Fanatжcal-parents will further abuse their kids by making them fearful & anxious about modern chemicals that are known to be safe & effective. ~ These fanatжcs may also despicably lead their children to believe that if a loved one, or a family pet, passes on, then it is because of exposure to pesticides. [ ?!?! ] ~ Furthermore, children may be diagnosed with exotic & unlikely diseases & disorders, like ADHD [ ?!?! ], that have nothing to do with pesticides. ~ These fanatжcs could not care less about their children. ~ Sadly, pesticide-hating fanatжcal-parents prefer to despicably & outrageously exploit & abuse their children as dramatic weapons of coercion & ultimate environmental-terrжr in order to disseminate their mindless hate-speech. ~ How can anyone allow pesticide-hating fanatжcs near children ?!?! ~ ~ CHILDREN ARE NOT AT RISK BECAUSE OF RISK ASSESSMENTS ! ~ No one needs to worry about children, & even pets, playing on pesticide-treated grass. ~ This is because all pest control products are federally-approved, scientifically-safe, practically-non-toxic, & will cause no harm, even to children, & even to pets. ~ They represent no-actual-risk-of-harm. ~ It is a myth that children, & pets, are somehow at greater risk from exposure than adults because they play closer to the ground & their bodies are still developing. ~ According to Health Canada & US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ), there are no unacceptable risks for children & pets. ~ The Risk Assessments of pest control products by Health Canada & US EPA DO take children & pets into consideration. ~ These Risk Assessments DO consider children’s & pet’s physiology, behaviours, & habits while playing on treated grass. ~ Typically, for all pest control products needed for professional lawn care maintenance, the government-approved labels state - « KEEP PEOPLE OFF TREATED AREA UNTIL FOLIAGE IS DRY » . ~ The same can be said for the vast majority of pest control products needed to protect golf courses. ~ Overall, pest control products are scientifically-safe & will cause no harm. ~ ~ CHILDREN ARE NOT AT RISK BECAUSE PESTICIDES WILL CAUSE NO HARM ! ~ Children are not at risk from pesticides because these products will not cause harm. The Risk Assessments of pest control products by Health Canada & US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) take into consideration sensitive groups, such as children, as well as infants & pregnant women. Children are protected by Health Canada & US EPA. ~ Children are not at risk from pesticides, but are at high risk with exposure to mindless hate-speech. According to Dr James S Bus, there is no evidence that pest control products like 2,4-D cause cancer or any health problems in children. ~ Moreover, there is not a scintilla of credible evidence that children have been harmed by chemicals in the environment, or that they are more vulnerable to such harm. However, pesticide-hating fanatжcs exploit, recruit, coerce, & brain-wash children with false-alarms of imminent harm from chemicals like pest control products. Mindless hate-speech have been taught to kids in school & propaganda packages have been sent directly to them. ~ In addition, Canadian Cancer Society’s web-sites state repeatedly that scientific research does not provide a conclusive link between pest control products & cancer. There is not one known cancer death from the proper use of pest control products that are needed to protect the urban landscape. ~ Nonetheless, given that cancer is the number 2 leading cause of death, there is a good chance that you are going to die of cancer no matter what you do. By contrast, pest control products are nowhere near a leading cause of cancer-death, & there is no chance that they will make you die of cancer. Pesticides causing cancer is a myth. So chill-out & have a drink, & forget about mindless hate-speech against pest control products. ~ How can anyone allow pesticide-hating fanatжcs near children ?!?! ~ ~ pesticidetruths.com/ WILLIAM H GATHERCOLE & NORAH G ~ ~ ~ EXPLORE THE FOLLOWING MEDIA LIBRARY - ~ ~ √ -- CHILDREN -- PESTICIDES -- Pesticide Safety Infographics -- Health Canada -- Post ⁄ Report -- LINK ~ pesticidetruths.com/2020/02/24/health-canadas-pesticide-safety-infographics-the-safety-of-pest-control-products-2020-2019/ ~ ~ √ -- CHILDREN -- PESTICIDES -- Kids Are At High Risk With Pesticide Bans -- Post ⁄ Report -- LINK ~ pesticidetruths.com/2019/08/07/pesticides-children-kids-are-at-high-risk-with-pesticide-bans-2019-08-07/ ~ ~ √ -- CHILDREN -- PESTICIDES -- Children Are Safe On A Pesticide-Treated Lawn -- Dr Katherine Von Stackelberg -- Post ⁄ Report -- LINK ~ pesticidetruths.com/2013/02/28/24-d-herbicide-highly-implausible-carcinogenic-outcomes-with-24-d-the-von-stackelberg-study-2012-02-01/ ~ ~ √ -- CHILDREN -- PESTICIDES -- Children Are Not More Sensitive To Chemicals -- Post ⁄ Report -- LINK ~ pesticidetruths.com/2018/11/18/children-are-not-at-risk-from-pesticides-children-are-not-more-sensitive-vulnerable-to-chemicals-in-the-environment-juris-dr-steven-j-milloy-speaks-the-truth-2018-10-03/ ~ ~ √ -- CHILDREN -- PESTICIDES -- Children Are Safe With 2,4-D -- No Evidence That 2,4-D Causes Cancer Or Any Health Problems In Children -- Dr James S Bus -- Post ⁄ Report -- LINK ~ pesticidetruths.com/2014/05/08/24-d-is-safe-experts-speaking-out-against-24-d-phobic-terrorism-in-manitoba-no-evidence-that-24-d-causes-cancer-or-any-health-problems-in-children-dr-james-s-bus-24-d-herbicide/ ~ ~ √ -- CHILDREN -- PESTICIDES -- LIBRARY OF POSTS ⁄ REPORTS -- The Complete Media History Of Pesticides & Children -- Kids Are At High Risk With Pesticide Bans -- Dangerous Playing Surfaces Are Created By #@!!% Pesticide Bans -- Exploiting Children As Weapons Of Coercion -- Web-Page -- LINK ~ pesticidetruths.com/toc/children-are-not-at-risk/ ~ ~ √ -- CHILDREN -- PESTICIDES -- POSTER COLLECTION -- Real Trends Against Pesticide Bans -- Victories Against Terrжrists -- Our Children Are Safe When Pesticide Bans Are Stopped -- Post ⁄ Report -- LINK ~ pesticidetruths.com/2012/10/11/posters-there-is-a-real-trend-against-pesticide-bans-victories-against-terrorists-our-children-are-safe-when-pesticide-bans-are-stopped-2012-10-11/ ~ ~ √ -- CHILDREN -- PESTICIDES -- SLIDE PRESENTATION -- Pest Control Products Are Safe For Kids -- Post ⁄ Report -- LINK ~ pesticidetruths.com/2016/08/30/a-look-at-safety-environment-facts-pest-control-products-are-safe-for-kids-slide-show-2016-08-31/ ~ ~ √ -- CHILDREN -- PESTICIDES -- 2,4-D Is Safe For Kids -- EPA’s Mr William Jordan -- Post ⁄ PTruths Report -- LINK ~ pesticidetruths.com/2014/08/21/surprise-epa-says-24-d-safe-for-kids-william-jordan-deputy-director/ ~ ~

Jennifer - this is an awesome presentation and should be watched by all students in the high school. Also, the different committees should be watching this. Thank you to the Conservators for this! Wow!

Is the Eastern Coyote the same species as the Coywolf? Or is the coywolf a name that has been attached to the Eastern Coyote?

What's the health benefits of ferns?

This is so inspiring & helpful for those of us looking to implement ordinances in our own city with no idea where to start. Thank you!!

Great information!

Rsvp ale

Thank you for interesting video. Best entomology wishes.😮😮😮😊😊😊😊

Stop talking , sediment is good for the estuary . See ELWA : #DamsOut 😊

So much to digest, and so many new concepts to consider. It was a wonderful presentation and you could really feel her passion for the research lol It'll be interesting as well to see how the displacement of habitable zones as a result of climate change causes the movement of species that may not typically exhibit migratory patterns. How will these sorts of creatures attempt migration? Or will they at all?

wonderful to see and hear this presentation. deeply appreciate the land acknowledgment

Great presentation by Emily Baiden! I've been working for several years restoring a small house lot. I especially liked her chill perspective on some of the invasive / exotics that we battle. Thank you for hosting & sharing.

nice

Echo Bridge was included in a version of “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” for the number of echoes (19?) when I was at Countryside Elementary School (~1960).

Great talk, Pete!

I never knew so much about caterpillars

Spotted Lanternfly has recently been found in Massachusetts! Resident are urged to report any sightings. See press release from mass.gov: www.mass.gov/news/state-agricultural-officials-urge-residents-to-report-signs-of-invasive-spotted-lanternfly

Thank you for a very informative session.

Don't be so hateful. These are just plants and will eventually settle into the ecoregion.

This is like the great America interchange, New species moving in and reordering the ecosystem. Stop being so hateful, these are just fellow organisms on this planet. Blaming early successional species for coming up in disturbed areas, any place around our buildings and roads, is dumb. Woodland specialist natives are not going to take their place. Also our ecosystem has been impaired for millenia. Not only has it suffered the impact of European colonization most of the mega fauna has been lost. This ecosystem once had mammoth, mastodons, ground sloths, bison, Harlan's musk ox, horses, peccaries, elk and beaver the size of bears. Then there were the big and toothy things that kept the herbivores bunched and moving. Overly exuberant vegetation would get pruned severely in this regime. Also Round Up looks to be a carcinogen and should be shelved.

A jewel in the urban mix to be preserved at all cost. Gorgeous photography.

From a completely independent perspective, these photos are great! They illustrate what a splendid resource the Webster Woods are to the residents of the region. We should do all we can to encourage BC to be a positive force for our City and the larger community by preserving as much of the natural landscape as possible.

Beautiful photography and beautiful nature sanctuary in the midst of suburban sprawl. We must protect nature and natural places for people to enjoy and benefit by better health from exercise, fresh air, and peaceful open space!
