USE THIS MAP TO FIND ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PLANNED OR HAVING TAKEN PLACE NEAR YOUR COMMUNITY
The interactive map below displays all pesticide (herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide) applications and clear cuts planned on private and state lands in 2023, based on public information from FERNS provided by the Oregon Department of Forestry (NOTE: this data shows all types of applications/does not separate aerial from ground sprays). The last legend item, “Drinking Water Source Areas”, allows you to see where activities are planned within the watershed of a surface water source that provides drinking water to a municipality (click on the blue area to see which municipal DWSA is shown).
Clicking on one of the shapes will tell you the landowner, operation name, and give the link to the full report on FERNS where you can see more details (a list of chemicals and the type of application, operator name, time frame, etc). You can hide layers by clicking on the eye image next to their title in the legend. For best results, we recommend using this in a web browser rather than mobile device. For a full screen image, use this link.
Please share this map with your community! We are hoping this will be a useful tool for people living near industrial forestry lands by making notification information more accessible and easy to view. The date of the map’s last update will be stated in the map description (click on the “i” icon in the corner of the map to view)
This map project was put together by volunteers from Coast Range Forest Watch, a grassroots organization on the southern Oregon coast. CRFW also created and maintains this website as part of the Spray Free Coast campaign. Feel free to contact CRFW with any questions or feedback!
