Picture
Join us for the next session in our Georgia-based webinar series to integrate habitat conservation into solar development projects. We’ll focus on plant conservation, with presentations from the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Michele Elmore, Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Lisa Kruse, and Georgia State Botanical Garden's Zach Wood as they review state and federal plant protection laws, coordination strategies, and introduce the Georgia Native Seed Network. They will explore how collaborations are possible to improve knowledge about Georgia’s rare plants; reduce harm that may be caused to their populations and habitats; and discuss the sourcing and production of native seed for site revegetation and habitat enhancement—an emerging area of interest for sustainable solar development. Register Today!
