<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks. It’s an interesting concept. You’re absolutely right that rights of way do present good habitat, that is usually neglected. I just hope they’re not white washing (green washing?) and protecting utility companies and Bayer. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Yes and my sense has been that the group is heavily oriented toward right-of-way issues and thus lots of utilities representation. My personal opinion is that the utility right-of-ways represent important actual or potential habitat and
the IVM folks seem to be doing some constructive work to balance the utilities' needs with environmental/sustainability considerations. I would rather see a utility subscribing to IVM than doing some of the slapdash work I was seeing twenty years ago by an
unnamed local utility, where they were taking a bad problem and making it worse through poor practices. (Incidentally I believe they have gotten on board with IVM and shown considerable improvement.) Cheers, Steve Young, Arlington VA<o:p></o:p></p>
