Abstract

A restoration strategy for western Pennsylvania
Track: Conservation
Authors: Mitchel Hannon

In order to guide environmental restoration work in western Pennsylvania, the RK Mellon Foundation worked with The Trust for Public Land to use the best available science to create species habitat and threat data layers. These layers were used to inform the Foundation on where they should focus their investments in habitat restoration. A metrics site was developed to track the progress of these investments to ensure that they are succeeding in meeting their mission to create better habitat.
