Summary:
The Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working Group formed in early 2015 as a forum for industry to collaborate and exchange information and best practices related to pollinator habitat along transportation and utility rights-of-way. The working group addresses crucial needs identified by industry, government agencies, and conservation organizations in light of severe declines in populations of pollinating insect species. The Energy Resources Center (ERC) at the University of Illinois-Chicago proposes to continue facilitation and coordination activities associated with the Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working Group, including organizing a face-to-face working group meeting, hosting educational webinars, and developing an online membership directory to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Objectives: (1) organizing and hosting an in-person working group meeting in October 2017, (2) developing a member directory on the Working Group Resources Page, and (3) organizing and hosting two educational webinars. |
