Finding Road-Widening Projects |
Sections of roadside slated for paving or clearing as part of a
road-widening project can also he good salvage sites. The persons
"in the know" about such projects work with the city and county
roads departments, and the state Department of Transportation.
For safety reasons, you should get permission from the agency
planning the widening before you check out the area for suitable
plants. Once you find plants you want, you will need to get
permission to salvage - usually from the contractor doing the work
or from the agency planning the widening. If they have safety
concerns, permission may be denied, or you may be required to
supply your own safety makings during the salvage effort. |
