Christy Johnson‐Hughes, National Energy Coordinator with USFWS, will discuss USFWS Wind Energy Guidelines as they relate to pre‐construction and siting (i.e. Tiers 1–3). This webinar will include a 40 minute presentation and 20 minutes for questions and answers.
Background:
Bat Conservation International, in conjunction with the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies and the American Wind Wildlife Institute, will conduct two webinars on wind energy and wildlife issues. The first webinar will focus on Tiers 1–3 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Land‐based Wind Energy Guidelines and the second webinar will be an introduction to wind energy development. The purpose of these webinars is to provide introductory material for participants attending the upcoming field‐based Wind and Wildlife Workshop, May 19–21 at NREL’s Wind Technology Center in Louisville, CO, but anyone interested in these topics is welcome to attend the webinars. Recordings of the webinars will be posted, within 24 hours of the presentation, on the registration page for the Wind and Wildlife Workshop (link below). https://www.batcon.org/index.php?option=com_batevents&view=event&eventid=92
