The Pollution Prevention Program has developed informational signage for Davis residents and other users of the City's open space and parks. The signs are placed at locations where the City is using integrated pest management and/or has performed native plant restoration. The City's Public Works Department encourages everyone to try least-toxic alternatives to chemical pesticides.
