Brush management guide updated
Mark Renz, Extension Weed Scientist, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Woody plants often interfere with the productivity and utility of both agricultural and non-crop lands. In pastures, brush reduces forage production, limits animals’ ability to graze, and may physically injure or poison livestock. Along roadsides and in other right-of-way sites unmanaged brush reduces visibility, interferes with electric power lines, reduces drainage, and may create a fire hazard. Poisonous woody plants, such as poison ivy and poison oak, also present serious health problems to humans and multiflora rose and prickly ash thickets are nearly impenetrable to humans and livestock. Managing woody species can be difficult, however, as they can often resprout and tolerate management methods.
