[p2tech] Sustainable Rights of Way Mgmt Resources needed

Right of way clearing w/o herbicides:  use rent-a-goats.  No joke.  

Beloved and proven (if seemingly quirky) approach here in the Pacific NW, for Seattle City Light power utility and many others.   

Goat-renting farmer or the utility can set up temporary fencing to keep the goats in place.

Hi All,

We have a situation on Cape Cod where the utility company wants to clear the land under its power lines with herbicides. 

I am looking for examples of sustainable land management practices for rights of ways that is also cost effective. Any cost/benefit reports would be very useful in our arguments. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Eileen Gunn
