To Users of This Manual:

It is our intent that this be a "living" document, continuously improving and changing in response to changes in herbicide uses for managing vegetation on rights-of-way. Your comments, suggestions, additions, and pictures are welcomed. Remember, this is a training manual not a reference book.

As this document begins its initial use, typographical errors, unclear statements, and omissions may become apparent. Please let us know of these. We expect to update this manual each month initially until these mistakes get corrected. Thank you for your help.
