More Wildlife Pheasants, quail, cottontail rabbits, ducks and song birds use roadsides to nest, rear their young, feed, loaf, and sleep. Improved Fisheries Cleaner lakes and streams result in better fish habitat and better fishing. Reduced Weed Control Problem Roadside management cannot eliminate weed control problems. However, the competition offered by the various grasses and legumes used in the program can significantly reduce these problems. The colorful legumes, native grasses, and wild flowers add touches of beauty to Nebraska's countryside.
Wildlife is also aesthetically pleasing to most people.
Improved Driver Safety Improved safety is a recognized benefit of roadside management by many county officials. Grasses and legumes help control tall weeds and thereby, increase visibility. Legacy For Wildlife Nature blessed Nebraska with a diverse and bountiful wildlife community. We can take pride in this wildlife heritage. With wise use and management we can insure this legacy for future generations.
