HERBICIDES MAY BENEFIT ROW WILDLIFE HABITAT

An environmental impact study on a transmission line right-of-way in Pennsylvania by Purdue University, Indiana, has shown that selective vegetation management with herbicides can actually help rights-of-way wildlife habitats. Another study in Montgomery County which studied a variety of treatments has also shown improved wildlife habitats. Herbicide treated areas have improved habitats for deer, songbirds, wild turkeys and small mammals.
