About Me

Ulster County finally has the neighbor notification law. But it's not enough. There are things we can do to help get rid of toxic pesticides:1. sign one of our petitions:New Paltz Residents Non-New Paltz Residents 2. support HELP NEW PALTZ's (HEalthy Lawns Project) proposed law to ban lawn-care pesticides by going to board meetings and speaking, etc. 3. think about adopting the law in your village or town. 4. contact HELP New Paltz (send us a message) and get involved!
