20 New Stories - What REAL Environmental & Conservation Leadership Looks Like In PA

There are 20 stories in this week’s PA Environment Digest that show the leadership of legislators, land trusts, forestry groups, river groups, farmers, anglers, an oil and gas well company, a newspaper, DCNR rangers, a museum, wildlife agencies, solar energy pioneers, environmental policy groups and the head of a state energy agency honoring Black History Month.

There are many, many more people just like these working all across Pennsylvania to restore and protect the environment and show others the beauty that surrounds us.
