McQuaide Blasko Law Firm Supports ClearWater Conservancy Internship
|
|
James M. Horne, Managing Director of the McQuaide Blasko Law Firm announced a new partnership this week with the ClearWater Conservancy of Central Pennsylvania to sponsor a Geographic Information Systems intern each year.
In 2010, McQuaide Blasko contributed $1,000 in funding. For 2011, the contribution has been increased to $1,500. The first intern to benefit from this new partnership is Kirk Miller.
Kirk will be graduating in May with a BS in Forest Management and a minor in Geographic Information Systems. His primary GIS project at ClearWater Conservancy will be mapping and analyzing potential alignments for a permanently protected wildlife corridor connecting Scotia Barrens and Tussey ridge.
This is the next phase of a comprehensive effort to connect the Scotia Barrens ecosystem in the valley with the forested ridge ecosystems that bound the valley to the north and south. With this analysis, ClearWater staff will be able to proactively reach out to key landowners and offer them voluntary conservation options for their properties.
Earlier this year, ClearWater Conservancy purchased land in Halfmoon Township near Stormstown to connect Scotia Barrens to Bald Eagle Ridge. Read more about this project in the ClearWater Conservancy's newsletter.
