The
General Project Goals of the
Threatened and Endangered Species Plan
The Raystown Lake Project plays
an important role in the conservation and protection of species
of special concern. Since
the project construction in the early 70’s, interest in Raystown’s
natural communities has been increasing. Before
project construction, natural Shale Barrens were identified and
inventories have documented important species found in these
communities. During
these inventories other significant findings occurred. Continued inventories are important to gain knowledge of the
important species at Raystown Lake, and conserve and protect
these resources for future generations.
