[MAIPC] Integrated Vegetation Management

[Richard Johnstone]

John,
Thanks for sharing. I have attached an IVM White Paper that was developed
with input from USFWS and habitat restoration examples we have directed for
electric, natural gas and highway ROW with documentation of the benefits of
IVM best practices. We have ongoing case studies with Duke Energy in Durham
and Greensboro, NC so perhaps we can arrange a field tour this year
especially in Durham which is nearby to you.
Rick
