Area of Emphasis: Pollinator Habitat on Rights-of-Way |

Summary:
The Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working Group formed in 2015 to engage diverse stakeholders from across different industry sectors, leverage knowledge and resources to improve management practices in rights-of-way, and promote pollinator habitats and healthy ecosystems through education, collaboration, data collection and management, and metrics and target development. The working group addresses crucial needs identified by utility and transportation organizations, government agencies, and conservation groups to create and enhance habitat, reverse declining pollinator populations, and shape standards of practice for rights-of-way and other managed landscapes going forward.
In support of these outcomes, the Energy Resources Center at the University of Illinois-Chicago will continue its facilitation and coordination activities, including organizing a peer-to-peer exchange workshop in Fall 2018 and developing an online web interface for the geospatial habitat database that maps habitat areas managed by rights-of-way organizations. Objectives: 1. Organize workshop to facilitate focused peer-to-peer exchanges 2. Develop web interface for geospatial habitat database |
