Hi Tweeters, thank you all for your concern and suggestions. I was able to
call them again and spoke with Sarah (Community Relations) and Jeff (Head
Grounds Keeper). Sarah's original memo only speaks of spraying poison on
Blackberries and that one should not pick or eat these sprayed berries as
they will be very poisonous.

After speaking to Jeff, he states that they will be using a product called
"Round-Up Pro."That this product is not as toxic to avian animals as other
products out there. That he did not think there were actually very few
eatable berries left at this time of the year, therefore the impact would be
negligible. They will be spraying next week when the wind is calm.
