Vegetation Management

The primary objective of the CLP Integrated Vegetation Management Program is to control the growth of vegetation along the electric lines so that the Cooperative can provide safe, reliable, affordable energy services to our members. This is accomplished by defining a cycle, using qualified personnel, contractors, and/or foresters to monitor the condition of the utility right of way, and by initiating various vegetation control practices to reduce, manage, or eliminate undesirable growth. This approach is called an Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) Program.
