| Abstract: |
An introduction to maintenance of low volume roads. Emphasis is on the interaction of the road and the environment. Stresses that proper maintenance of the roadway actually helps keep the ecosystem in balance. It is possible for roads and nature to coexist, however it takes effort and planning. Lessons such as: Disturb the soil only when absolutely necessary. And, when it is necessary, use a light touch are applicable beyond the nation's forests, to other low volume, unpaved roads, that serve multiple needs (recreation and commercial) and that run through otherwise natural environment. |
| Notes: |
Beautiful scenery and wildlife footage in an informative, well-produced, voice-over video. Part of an excellent series ideal for anyone that maintains or oversees low volume, unpaved roads. |
