Vista Clearing Contracts

Clearing vegetation and maintenance of the 2,172 kilometers (1,349 miles) of boundary vista through forest and brush requires a major portion of the Commission's efforts. To enable the annual maintenance to be carried out, the Commission may offer certain contracts for vegetation clearing and maintenance in various locations along the U.S.-Canada boundary.
