CEC’s Kyle Filicky is scheduled to present “Identifying Rare Plants and Finding Common Ground with Proposed Pipelines” on Thursday, June 16 at the Appalachian Energy Innovation Collaborative.  This presentation will provide background on how rare plants are identified in the field prior to pipeline development projects using tools such as the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory. Using a case study, one process for protecting a species will be detailed followed by lessons learned for future development projects.
