The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) is accepting nominations for the annual Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Achievement Awards through June 30, 2022!

The IPM Achievement Awards recognize people and organizations using safer, more sustainable integrated pest management practices to tackle California’s diverse and difficult pest management problems. IPM Achievement Award winners are leaders in advancing IPM implementation, use, knowledge-sharing, or research of least toxic, effective pest management methods in agricultural, open space, and urban settings. Previous winners have harnessed the use of natural predators to manage pests, developed non-chemical vegetation management plans and tools, performed impactful IPM research, and facilitated pest management outreach and education efforts.
