Pennsylvania
Biodiversity Partnership
Task

The
Pennsylvania Biodiversity Partnership (PBP) operates as a broad-based
coalition through its structure of seven task forces which make recommendations
to a Board of Directors. The primary work of the PBP occurs within these
task forces, which meet as needed in various locations in the state
or via conference calls. Anyone interested in Pennsylvania's biodiversity
is encouraged to participate in one or more task forces. Please contact
