The Roles of The Corps of Engineers and The Nature Conservancy
It All Happens Right Here in Pennsylvania!

Wednesday, 10 March 2010, 7:30-9PM
Phipps Garden Center, Fifth and Shady Avenues, Squirrel Hill
Free and open to the public

Colonel Michael P. Crall, Pittsburgh District Engineer
Pat McElhenny and Jenny Case, Nature Conservancy

The Corps is involved in vital aspects of conservation and regulation of our waterways, from flood prevention to control of disposal of wastes from Mountain-Top Removal Mining. Col. Crall is an articulate spokesman for the Corps’ activities and can answer any questions, including those about new regulations about to be promulgated which may break the back of MTR mining.
On the other hand, the Nature Conservancy is doing exciting work at trying to lower the risk of out-of-control forest fires here in the East and to raise the germination rate for oaks, near zero without fire. This is controversial stuff in the forestry profession. Come hear what it’s all about.
