When it comes to fracking, oil and gas developers don’t discriminate. Meaning: you could be at risk of having a well pad built within 500 feet of your home at any time.
Participants learn about the harms of living near oil and gas development, and ways that you can be proactive to keep you and your loved ones protected.
The Program will include presentations, Q&A sessions and a copy of the Protect PT Home Resource Guide.
