Mowing feels the cut

摘要

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Roadside Environmental Unit has successfully developed an Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management Program to cater to the more than 58 million visitors traveling by car each year throughout the state. NCDOT crews work exceptionally hard to maintain the safety and appearance of 300,000 acres of rights-of-way (ROWs) along more than 78,000 miles of highway. They also manage one of the most spectacular roadside wildflower programs in the country, similar to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Program in Texas.
