Does ROW maintenance affect the environment?

York Elec­tric’s ROW main­te­nance pro­gram bal­ances the preser­va­tion of nat­ur­al habi­tats against the ser­vice reli­a­bil­i­ty needs of our mem­bers and the safe­ty needs of the gen­er­al pub­lic. In fact, it can actu­al­ly ben­e­fit the ecosys­tem and oth­er nat­ur­al envi­ron­ments. ROW main­te­nance efforts cre­ate open areas that encour­age the growth of wild­flow­ers, ferns, grass­es, flow­ers, berries, and oth­er low-grow­ing shrubs.
