Scheduled Herbicide Treatment at Local Jr/Sr High Schools' Fields on May 7

The Mayfield Central School District has scheduled herbicide applications at the Jr/Sr High Schools' athletic fields for Tuesday, May 7, 2024. This is in line with NYS Education Law, which requires public notification for such activities. Students and athletes should consult their coaches to see if there are changes to their practice or game schedules.

The treatments will target broadleaf weeds, prevent crabgrass, and manage insects to keep the fields healthy and visually appealing. For details on the products used and their safety, contact the National Pesticide Information Center or the New York State Department of Health.

The fields will be closed during the treatment and will reopen on Thursday, May 9, 2024. Marker flags will be placed at the fields' entry points to indicate treated areas and ensure safety.

Individuals concerned about pesticide exposure should take recommended precautions to protect themselves, their pets, and personal items. Precautionary information is available on the Greener World Landscape Maintenance LLC’s website or by contacting their office.
