Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides
About Us
Founded in 1977, NCAP works to protect community and environmental health from the detrimental effects of pesticides through research, education and advocacy. NCAP understands that both pests and pesticides are a problem. We seek solutions coming from a change in approach – a difference in mindset – rather than a change in synthetic chemistry or a new product with a silver bullet and a warning label. We help people become more pest-aware and to learn to deal with pests in ways that avoid the use of pesticides that harm our health, wildlife, soil, water, and the air we breathe.
