They're home to a variety of wildlife ranging from birds and deer to coyotes and turtles. Work crews may not have easy access to power lines, and overgrowth can interfere with power transmission.

Repeated mechanical control can shred nesting sites, leave debris and mulch wildlife food sources.
Some herbicides leave behind grass monocultures and little food for wildlife.
