[MAIPC] Volunteers and herbicide

In Maryland a company or organization has to carry the liability insurance. Also the business needs to be licensed. 
There is an effort in the Maryland state legislature to put a statewide ban on glyphosate. That will hinder invasive species control.

We were told the same in Maryland, eastern shore counties, as individuals not employed by landscapers, etc., could not register.

It's very hard to get registered in Virginia. If you aren't with a government entity or university, farm, landscape firm, etc. - just on your own - it's nearly impossible.

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.
