Description
Description | The Fort Edward Solar Project is a proposed solar energy development that plans to place solar panel arrays around the sensitive Washington County Grasslands habitat. The project threatens to eliminate more than 500 acres of occupied habitat for vulnerable grassland birds, including the state-endangered short-eared owl and threatened northern harrier. The solar arrays would encircle the Washington County Grasslands Wildlife Management Area to the south, east, and west, potentially displacing these birds and fragmenting their habitat. |
