Polly Kapala-McKillop, Pesticide Enforcement Manager-Michigan Department of Agriculture and Consultant with Keppoch Consulting

Her topic: The Do's and Don'ts of Using Pesticides

Polly is a no-nonsense speaker who will give us the information we need to know about utilizing pesticides in the landscape. Her talk could easily save you hundreds of dollars. She will give us valuable information on staying "green" in the landscape and the true definition of "What is a Pesticide?" You'll be glad you came to this talk especially on that day the Department of Agriculture truck shows up at your work site, which has happened to some members. You will be confident that you are within all legal guidelines. This eye-opening talk is one you can't afford to miss.
