National Pesticide Safety Education Month
February 2024 is the 7th annual National Pesticide Safety Education month!
The purpose of National Pesticide Safety Education Month is to reinforce core principles of safe pesticide use with many audiences and raise awareness of and support for the land-grant university Pesticide Safety Education Programs (PSEPs).
