Herbicide to Be Sprayed on Brush Near Yosemite

The herbicide is meant to kill brush that national forest officials said has taken over an area that burned 17 years ago.
The proposal had run into opposition from environmental organizations and Native American groups who say plants used by humans will also be killed.
