Growing on our Rights-of-Way
Trees and Shrubs

Dominion plants a variety of trees and shrubs along its rights-of-way. In addition, our vegetation management practices encourage the revitalization of wildflowers and other species specific to Virginia. Our practices to minimize environmental impact include the following:

  • Encourage natural replacement of shrubs, grasses and flowers
  • Enhance wildlife habitat
  • Avoid mowing where possible
  • Apply approved herbicides with backpack sprayers
  • Plant species in appropriate areas where repeated pruning is not necessary
