Mission Statement
The Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides (NCAP) works to protect community and environmental health and inspire the use of ecologically sound solutions to reduce the use of pesticides.
Description
For 35 years, NCAP has combined community outreach, education, advocacy and organizing to protect the health of people and the environment by advancing alternatives to pesticides.
NCAP has a variety of programs benefiting rural and urban communities throughout the Northwest. NCAP is urging better protections to keep pesticides out of water; establishing safe, pesticide-free schools and low income housing communities and protecting children and families where they live, learn, work and play; strengthening sustainable agriculture and rural economies; reforming federal pesticide policy, and educating people about using alternatives to pesticides in and around their homes.
