One of the county roadside vegetation managers who I work with is trying to figure out how to protect some of his roadside plantings from herbicide drift from the adjacent farmland or being directly sprayed by the landowner. The plantings have no mow/no spray signs. They may be a candidate for DriftWatch/FieldWatch. However, there was an article in Progressive Farmer that specifically mentioned FieldWatch that FieldWatch has fielded and declined requests to add pollinator habitat to their program.

Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on this? My next suggestion would be for the roadside manager to communicate directly with the landowners or use signage that more clearly labels the habitat as Pollinator Habitat as opposed to No Mow/No Spray.
