The California Department of Pesticide Regulation is launching an innovative outreach initiative using interactive kiosks to educate the public on sustainable pest management practices. Funded by the State Water Resources Control Board through the PRISM Grant, these kiosks will provide access to valuable information such as pest control tips, irrigation strategies, and chemical safety guidelines. Featuring touch screens, thermal printers, and engaging videos, the kiosks aim to facilitate communication with local communities, ensuring easy access to pest management resources.
