TVA Rights-of-Way: Ruderal Habitats or Pre-settlement Savanna Conditions?

The TN Department of Transportation awarded SGI to develop a plan to better conserve and manage the grassland and pollinator habitat found on Tennessee highway rights-of-way.

Here’s the exciting report from our first surveys of the 2019 season.
