Speaker Info:
Azuraye Wycoff is a farmer and community organizer who recently discovered Boulder County’s plan to aerially spray Indaziflam, a pesticide that sterilizes soil and kills all seeds for years, near her family’s land. In response, she has rallied over 1,200 local supporters to oppose the effort. Her work offers a powerful, real-time case study in how communities can successfully organize, engage stakeholders, and protect shared resources.
The conversation will be led by Aaron Nichols, host of the This Week in Solar podcast.
