<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">We are looking into the possibility of having volunteers use herbicide (in restricted manners or amounts) as part of their invasive plant programs.Liability is obviously
a concern. Does anyone know of any organization that has done this in the past? If so, can you give me the name of the organization’ and possibly a contact person.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
