BTW my volunteers have not found it too hard to get registered.

Thank you for all of the great info people have sent. I am going to get back to our small committee and I may reach out to some people via their private emails. This is a great group and I truly appreciate all of the advice you have given. 

 

Thank you!!!

When I have been a leader for invasive plant control for about 10 organizations in the last 20 years, we typically have about 5-10% of the volunteers first become pesticide application registered by the State of Maryland.  This has worked well. For example, a few other volunteers may cut the stumps of oriental bittersweet vines and the registered volunteer would follow up with applying herbicide to the cut stump in a few minutes.
