Community Alert · Recheck Current PlanYurok / Klamath / Water and Land
Green Diamond Herbicide Spray Plan 2026
Area
Community-compiled maps identify potential treatment units on private timberlands along the Klamath, including areas near the Yurok Reservation.
Safety note
The supplied alert advises avoiding contact with wilted or yellowed vegetation. Confirm current treatment locations and dates directly with regulators and the company.
Thursday, August 6 in Crescent City, with public comment listed for 9:00 AM. Confirm the agenda and participation instructions with the Water Board.
The flyers state that Green Diamond may not spray every mapped site and that some potential sites may not appear on the overview. This is a community-produced alert, not an official Pit River Tribe or Yurok Tribe notice. Treat the maps as a prompt to verify, comment, or file a complaint—not as final confirmation that a particular unit has been treated.
