Ecosystem and Vegetation Management
Invasive Species and Noxious Weeds
Managing vegetation along highways presents a serious challenge in preserving natural beauty along travel corridors and preventing the spread of invasive
species.
Invasive Species – Invasive species have the potential to affect a wide range of human and natural activities and functions. Highways present an
ideal path for species to spread out of their native environment. FHWA provides guidance and
information resources to transportation and planning agencies in order to prevent the problems associated with native species.
