This is the seventh and last of a series of articles that inform the public of an ambitious project that will benefit our local communities in many ways. Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative has undertaken a lawn-to-native pollinator habitat transition project on the grounds of their headquarters building, located along Route 6 in Wysox, Pennsylvania. Expected benefits include improved environmental stewardship, evaluating new right-of-way management strategies, educational opportunities for local students and groups, and reduced maintenance costs. Claverack is a rural electric cooperative that is owned by the members we serve. Over the past couple of months, we have shared a lot of information about our native pollinator habitat project. We’ve discussed our planning process and partners, defined what pollinators do, invited you to share and use the site, and discussed how we maintain our rights-of-way.

This is part six of a series of articles that inform the public of an ambitious project that will benefit our local communities in many ways.

Claverack is a rural electric cooperative that is owned by the members we serve. An electric utility has an easement for properties where it has poles and wires. Utility easements are required from property owners prior to a utility beginning powerline construction and offering electrical service to customers or members. The easement allows the utility to access and maintain the powerlines to include tree trimming, brush cutting, and ongoing right-of-way maintenance.

Many have asked about our native pollinator habitat program, and I have been sharing information one-on-one, giving formal presentations, and writing about our project in this series of articles. People often ask how we plan to use the site. |
