Residents of a Boulder County, Colorado, community are opposing a plan to spray herbicide from drones over a wildland area known as Red Hill, according to local reporting and community statements.

The dispute centers on a herbicide product containing indaziflam, a chemical that reporting indicates is part of the planned treatment and that has drawn additional scrutiny from residents [1].

No final decision has been made, and officials said the proposal remains under review [1][2].
