Going Pesticide Free - A guide for Local Authorities

Pesticide Action Network UK (PAN UK) has compiled this brief guide to help local authorities end or reduce the use of pesticides in areas under their control such as streets, highways, pavements, parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and any other spaces that are frequented by the public.

While it is aimed at councils, it can also be used by other land managers interested in ending pesticide use.
