Better Path Coalition To Host Virtual Tour Of Gas Drilling Impacts June 19

The Better Path Coalition will host a virtual tour of Pennsylvania unconventional natural gas drilling impacts and pipelines for elected officials, their staffers, the press, and the public on June 19 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. 

The Coalition had been organizing tours of Southwest Pennsylvania drilling impacts before COVID-19. Taking the tour virtual allowed the group to expand it to include the entire state. 

The first tour will focus on impacts on the ground. Future tours will give participants an opportunity to hear the stories of impacted residents and become more informed about particular aspects of shale gas development.

On the agenda to present during the program are--

-- Brook Lenker, FracTracker Alliance, Statewide Impacts Overview

-- Leann Leiter, Earthworks, FLIR Demonstration showing methane emissions

-- Lois Bjornson, Southwest PA Impacts

-- Vera Scroggins, Northwest PA Impacts

-- Barb Jarmoska, RDA, Impacts to PA Wilds
