Rights-of-way management with herbicide

Selective application of herbicide is just one of several tools that we use to manage vegetation within our rights-of-way (ROWs).  The herbicides used by CVPS are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and are applied by licensed and trained personnel.  These products work into the stems and leaves of targeted plants and stop the growth and any re-sprouting that may occur.  These highly specialized herbicides block the chemicals found in plants that are required by the plant to grow, and when applied properly are safe for use near fish, birds, animals and humans.

We strive to achieve biodiversity within our ROWs.  Biodiversity is the simple concept of mixing compatible woody and flowering plants to create a greater mix of beneficial plant species.  By promoting low-growing species, we provide more than just grass communities, we provide better wildlife habitat.
