Roadside Vegetation Management

What was once the FHWA Wildflower Program has evolved to a holistic roadside program. If it is green and growing on Interstate or State highway rights-of-way, we are interested.

Roadside rights-of-way account for more than 10 million acres of land in the United States. This land requires care that:

• assures water quality,
• improves erosion control,
• increases wildlife habitat,
• reduces moving and spraying,
• enhances natural beauty,
• controls noxious weeds,
• and protects natural heritage.

- all objectives of vegetation management.

The FHWA Roadside Vegetation Program serves as a technical resource for this care of the land, or vegetation management.
