Tell the USGS to maintain its pesticide tracking program

The National Pesticide Use Maps database is a critical tool for monitoring pesticide use and estimating water pollution across the nation. Its data is used by the federal government, scientists and public health officials alike — and there is no other data source on pesticides that can compare.

Understanding our country’s pesticide use is critical to protecting pollinator populations and the health of our ecosystems. I urge you to not terminate the National Pesticide Use Maps database and to restore it to pre-Trump administration levels.
