Natural Resources, shall, where appropriate, maintain in forested lands, rather than grasslands, Department-controlled property adjacent to and between divided lanes of State highways. In determining where such forestation is appropriate, the Department shall consider whether such forestation would: (a) enhance the scenic quality of the highway; (b) provide additional habitat for wildlife; (c) result in a financial savings from reduced grassland maintenance; (d) enhance air quality; (e) serve as a deterrent to soil erosion; (f) not hinder drivers' visibility or otherwise create a traffic hazard; and (g) be fiscally prudent considering the availability of low cost or no cost nursery stock as provided by the Department of Natural Resources.
