Discover Iowa's Native Roadsides
The maps below show which Iowa counties and cities have an Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management plan on file with the Iowa Department of Transportation as of early 2026, making them eligible to apply for Living Roadway Trust Fund grants and free native seed for their road rights-of-way that the Tallgrass Prairie Center's Iowa Roadside Management program provides. For information on how to create an IRVM plan, visit the Living Roadway Trust Fund's website or contact Tara Van Waus at tara.vanwaus@iowadot.us.
