Abstract
Invasive plants cause ecological and economic damage to Indiana’s agricultural and natural areas. Best management practices for right-ofways (ROWs) can not only minimize the damage to both sectors but also provide real benefits on both fronts. Through the establishment of corridors of habitat for Indiana’s colorful families of native insects, especially bees and butterflies, pollinators can continue to play their increasingly important role in the landscape. Join us for a discussion.
