Acknowledgments. We have liberally shared our ideas on IVM over the past 5 years and have gained much from various organiza- tions in terms of collegial reactions and monetary support that afforded us developmental opportunities. We acknowledge the following people and organizations for that support: Dr. Larry Abrahamson, State University of New York; Dr. Ed Neuhauser, Ken Finch, Craig Allen, and Tom Sullivan, Niagara Mohawk, a National Grid Company; Kevin McLoughlin, New York Power Authority; Dick Mider, New York State Electric and Gas; John Goodrich- Mahoney, Electric Power Research Institute (ERPI); Tara Masters, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); and Paul Appelt, Environmental Consultants, Inc. We presented an earlier version of the IVM system to a group of nearly 30 practitioners at a Septem- ber 2003 workshop sponsored and partially funded by SUNY-ESF, EPA, and EPRI entitled “Shrub ecology and management to promote Integrated Vegetation Management on powerline corridors,” as part of the EPA’s Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program. We acknowledge formal assessments of each of the six steps by workshop participants. Comments received from anonymous reviewers on the draft manuscript were valuable and appreciated.
