The Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides (NCAP) is a five- state grassroots organization that works to increase
awareness of pesticide use and its alternatives. This collection primarily contains the records of NCAP activities in Oregon

California. Also included are documents from its affiliate groups, such as Siskiyou Citizens Against Toxic Sprays, Salmon
River Concerned Citizens, and People for Healthy Forests.
The NCAP and CCAP worked to increase public awareness of the use and aerial application of pesticides, particularly in forestland,

court cases against the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Agriculture, the US Forest Service, and the
CA Department of Food and Agriculture.
