Protests against the use of 1080 will be held in several Northland towns tomorrow, only days before planned aerial drops of the poison over Russell Forest and Cape Brett.
Events in Whangārei, Kerikeri, Dargaville, Kawakawa and other centres are part of the nationwide Operation Ban 1080, a social media promoted, rolling demonstration against the pesticide also known as sodium fluoroacetate.
Protests have already been held in some cities and towns, with the majority planned for tomorrow. Organisers have asked attendees to remain peaceful despite the sometimes volatile subject.
