Bill G covered it nicely. The reason why the strips alongside our Maine roads are mowed so deep is so drivers will get a longer look at deer and moose when they try to cross the road. The post about the median strip brought back memories. A friend of mine was tenderhearted toward varmints but when skunks became a bee problem he trapped them and then was faced with what to do with them. If he released them at a distance, they just became someone elses problem, so he decided the humane thing to do was release them on the wooded median strip of a local interstate.
