Pennsylvania has identified over 150 invasive plants, insects, pathogens, and animals that significantly impact both the environment and agricultural production, resulting in annual economic losses amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. The Pennsylvania Invasive Species webinar is committed to addressing this critical issue. Throughout the session, we will highlight some of the most problematic invasive species found in Pennsylvania, examine their methods of establishment, and discuss effective strategies to mitigate their spread.

Many conventional oil and gas wells in Pennsylvania are on private land. Landowners who host these wells may want to consider the future of these wells and the liability they might have. Pennsylvania has a record amount of funding to plug older wells, but often it will require some cooperation from landowners who host these wells. Landowners may be able to locate where roads are temporarily constructed and how the infrastructure that is attached to these wells are handled.
