Green road

nounStandard termFarming

An unpaved, often grass-covered track used for moving farm equipment and livestock.

A traditional, unsurfaced rural route or drove road that cuts through agricultural land. These tracks are maintained primarily by the passage of tractors and animals rather than by grading or paving. They provide essential access to remote fields and pastures while acting as wildlife corridors and natural drainage buffers.

Heard on the job

Take the tractor down the green road to avoid tearing up the muddy county lane.
