2021-22 Scholars Project Title: Linking Land Conservation and Clean Energy: Conflict and Opportunity in Siting Clean Energy Projects

This project seeks to answer key questions relating to the compatibility of clean energy projects and land conservation. Such question include the extent to which conservation easements are compatible with clean energy infrastructure, the role that land conservation networks could play in siting clean energy infrastructure, and the identification of areas of conflict and common interest between conservation groups and clean energy developers.
