Join Us For A
Non Toxic Southern Oregon Community Conversation!
Talent Community Center, 104 E. Main St., Talent
Come learn about our conversations with city, county, and school leaders about the amount and types of toxic pesticides being used in public spaces.
Community leaders will be providing an update about their progress encouraging
decision makers to make changes for the benefit of children, pets, and pollinators, and how you can help make sure the conversations continue.
We are proud to be working with Beyond Toxics on this initiative to create a
Non Toxic Southern Oregon as part of a greater Non Toxic Oregon!
Free event, donations greatly appreciated!

Pollinators' Picks:
According to this “roadmap to insect recovery” just released
by more than 70 scientists, "the world must eradicate pesticide use,
prioritise nature-based farming methods and urgently reduce water,
light and noise pollution to save plummeting insect populations."
We are doing our little part! Have you seen our gardens?
Please enjoy these photo albums of their transitions, especially our
brand-new "office" gardens.
We always appreciate volunteers who want to help tend these gardens,
and/or take on some community science projects.
