Land Stewardship

摘要

Fingrid Oyj's approach to environmental management transforms transmission line rights-of-way into an important wildlife habitat. HAVING ABANDONED THE USE OF HERBICIDES IN THE EARLY 1980s, Fingrid Oyj, Finland's transmission system operator, controls the growth of vegetation on its rights-of-way (ROW) mechanically, at a frequency that varies between five and seven years. This vegetation management practice involves maintaining an area equivalent to 33,000 hectares (81,545 acres) in a geographical area of 338,000 sq km (130,503 sq miles).
