What's Working for Conservation

Habitat Friendly Utilities

2025 Information

The BWSR Habitat Friendly Utilities Program has a goal of shifting management practices on utility projects to decrease the risk of invasive species and maximize benefits for a wide range of wildlife species. These corridors have the potential to be important habitat corridors. The program is also working to building partnerships between utility companies and the conservation community, and promote new innovative management approaches through testing strategies on pilot projects and making new technical resources available. Stories about pilot projects are being added to the program website.
