The Laurel Highlands, in southwest Pennsylvania, is the second of the Conservation Landscape Initiatives (CLIs) for which Fermata developed a strategic plan. We worked under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), and were partnered with the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) in this initiative. On Monday, April 4, Ted spoke at the second Laurel Highlands Summit in Latrobe at St. Vincent’s College. Over 200 people attended, a testament to just how far this CLI has progressed.
