My state came up with a "Naturalized Area" program.  Under it the DOH puts
up brown "Naturalized Area" signs and doesn't cut the grass or clip the
trees and such.  Looks like what it is, an undermaintained ROW overgrown
with weeds.

I disagree with premise for 2 reason.

1) what could be more beautiful than a interstate in the first place?

2) the idea that environmental extremists can (or should) be appeased is
just wrong.  If all government wanted to do was A there will always be an
extremist saying do A - 1.  If they wanted to do A -1 the extremist would be
for A - 2.
