Scope
SCOPE AND ORGANIZATION OF GUIDELINES These guidelines provide a consistent@ coordinated@ proactive approach to roadside vegetation management. They are intended to be used as a starting point for a roadside vegetation management program and allow room for variations in state government laws@ regulations@ guidelines@ and regional variation in roadside environments. The guidelines do not include specific details on vegetation control practices@ such as which specific herbicide to use@ or which piece of equipment to purchase. Nevertheless@ they provide enough information on vegetation management that new managers will generally understand how the various control methods and management structures work.
