We’re standing with an alliance of fellow nonprofit conservation and environmental groups to vote YES on Ballot Question 6 on the 2026 state ballot.

Question 6 will create a permanent Nature for All Fund to invest in actions that keep Massachusetts healthy and resilient by protecting clean drinking water, conserving forests, farms, and wildlife habitat, and strengthening communities against flooding, heat, and climate impacts. The fund does this without creating any new taxes. Instead, it dedicates a portion of existing sales tax revenue from sporting goods, recreation vehicles, and golf courses to conservation.

What’s the deal with synthetic vs “organic” or “natural” tick and mosquito spraying?

While spraying companies seek to contrast naturally-derived products with synthetic pesticides, the truth is that they are still pesticides, both by state definition and by common language: they kill (not just repel or deter) a broad spectrum of insects, arachnids, and other invertebrates.Further, they are not harmless to human health; exposure to all-natural sprays causes skin and respiratory irritation and serious allergic reactions among sensitive individuals.

Take a look at our new informational web page on our site with further details on our stance on spraying and q&a.
