Title: Encouraging Diversity Along Rights-of-Way

Summary: The potential impact of vegetation management herbicides has been studied almost as long as they have been used. Back in 1953, a vegetation management research project was initiated in Pennsylvania — State Game Lands 33 Research and Demonstration Project (SGL 33). Today, Dr. Richard Yahner, a professor of wildlife conservation at Penn State University, is the lead researcher of the project. He and his team have conducted many studies showing the importance right-of-way management has on the diversity and overall health of the ecosystem, including plants and animals.
