RES2023-08: Beautifying Tennessee's Roadways and Enhancing Its Ecology By Strategizing Pollinator Habitat Potential

项目名称：	RES2023-08: Beautifying Tennessee's Roadways and Enhancing Its Ecology By Strategizing Pollinator Habitat Potential
摘要：	As of January 2022, Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) manages 3,670 miles of roadway which suggests that the rights-of-way along these segments offer a great advantage to supporting Tennessee’s vast native plants and pollinators species. Likewise, the cost to maintain these rights-of-way is minimized. TDOT has a few publications that addresses native species planting along its roadways, but a statewide guidance document that offers identifying species for planting based on site conditions, targeted maintenance specifications, an evaluation process to measure success, and a public outreach program about these areas is missing. To address this, a less academic route has been chosen that instead includes expertise from botanic gardens, native plant groups, and pollinator specialists within Tennessee to work with university faculty to develop these guidance protocols
