Abstract
Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management is an approach to right-of-way maintenance that combines an array of management techniques with sound ecological principles to establish and maintain safe, healthy and functional roadsides. The IRVM tool chest includes judicious use of herbicides, spot mowing, prescribed burning, mechanical tree and brush removal and the prevention and treatment of disturbances to existing vegetation. IRVM’s long-term objective is to reduce roadside maintenance by creating stands of durable, long-lived, native plants.
