An Act establishing wildflower and pollinator-friendly plantings alongside state roadways

This bill directs the Massachusetts Division of Highways to create a program that replaces grass mowing with native wildflower plantings along state roadways. The initiative aims to support pollinators by establishing habitats for native flowering plants on land bordering highways, with the Department of Agricultural Resources consulted to identify suitable locations. Once implemented, the division must create specific regulations to manage this new planting and maintenance approach.
