NEW BOOK
ROADSIDE WEED MANAGEMENT
Bonnie L Harper-Lore, Maggie Johnson, & Mark W. Skinner
With the publication of Roadside Weed Management, the Federal Highway
Administration in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency,
and Natural Resources Conservation Service, presents a sequel reference to
the 1999 Roadside Use of Native Plants. The new reference features a
state-by-state analysis of noxious weed law for all land managers. It
also offers expert essays on the issues common to the "war on weeds" waged
by all federal, State, and local agencies across the country. And finally
the reference includes educational examples that have increased public
awareness at various levels.
This joint effort to go beyond the law and policy of weeds to the applied
science of weed control and management succeeds only because so many
contributors have chosen to "pull together" since 1994. This book is
intended to help the reader confront the complex issue of weeds or
invasive plants and encourage on-the-ground partnerships across
fencelines. Weeds ignore political boundaries and so will the
partnerships of the future.
The book is packed with resources we all can use.
