SPRAY LICENCES 2025 have been issued for over 27K hectares in New Brunswick- about 15K has will be sprayed. But the licenses change daily according to the dept in charge. This is the clarification that was sent to me by DNR Minister John Herron regarding spray licenses:
(Link to 2025 spray license map: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html…
“A from our staff to clarify:
“Blocks are constantly changing in and out of this map. As we’ve said, the program is dynamic, and we try to make the map as accurate as we can as things develop to ensure transparency. For this reason, the map viewer can change daily as blocks are dropped or added. The intent of the map viewer is for the public to identify sites of interest that may be treated. As I’ve communicated, that program on Crown land will still fall within the (15K ha) estimated range of area.”
So you basically need to check the spray licenses map daily if you are wondering about what might get sprayed near you. We always assumed that all spray licenses were issued by a certain deadline. Always more licenses than would actually be used, but this year (due to the mistake made at the GNB Geonb map) we have now learned that this is not the case. DNR has never released an actual chart of licenses issued. They did give us that this year when Gino discovered a huge discrepancy. But even that chart now appears to be dynamic! There you have it folks.
