Landowner-Maintained Right of Way Agreement

We understand that some members have concerns about herbicide use, and we take those concerns seriously. To balance the needs of our membership at large with the concerns of individual members, the Co-op now offers Landowner-Maintained Right of Way Agreements.

Under these agreements, landowners agree to regularly trim and clear trees in the right of way to the Co-op’s specifications, before such trees reach a certain height. In exchange, the Co-op agrees to forego the use of herbicides in the agreed-upon area. If a member falls behind on right- of-way maintenance, the Co-op is authorized to use its own methods, including the use of herbicides, to bring the  right of way back up to standards.
