Follow these guidelines for mowing and trimming along Developed Urban highways.

Establish non-mow or natural areas at appropriate locations within the right of way, to provide for wildflower preservation, regeneration of native plant species,

to create habitat for the Presidential Memorandum to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators

and establishment of nesting habitat for wildlife. Clearly mark these areas to prevent accidental mowing during modified full-width mowing.

Set cutting height at five inches as determined for strong regeneration of grasses.

Mechanically trim.

In those areas where herbicides have been applied for the control of taller, weedy plant species, delay mowing for a minimum of 14 days after herbicide application for maximum control of unwanted plant species.
