Upper Allegheny Basin Workshop
Recently I have been involved in a two day workshop sponsored by the Nature Conservancy and NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. They have brought together many scientist, universities, governmental partners and natural resource professionals to assist in putting together an in depth conservation plan for the Upper Allegheny River Basin.
This was the second of four workshops scheduled for completing this plan. This workshop was focused on establishing the threats of the Upper Allegheny Basin. Back in April 2006, they had their first workshop and kicked everything off by bringing everyone together for the Allegheny Biodiversity Symposium. I presented an oral paper on the Changing Butterfly Fauna in Allegany State Park and one of 50 papers/posters presented that day. I felt honored to be involved in this important long-term conservation plan for the Allegheny River System and can’t wait to see the finished product.
