Presenters schedule public meeting for Wayne County Natural Heritage Inventory update
Summary
Steven Schwartz and Keith Pierson briefed the Wayne County Commissioners on an update to the county's Natural Heritage Inventory, announcing a public meeting on June 24, 2026 and stating that field biologists will revisit selected sites and post findings on the county website.
Steven Schwartz and Keith Pierson told the Wayne County Commissioners on June 18 that the county and the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program have agreed to update the Wayne County Natural Heritage Inventory and have designated field biologists to revisit priority sites and survey newly identified areas. Mr. Schwartz said a public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 7 p.m. at the Park Street Complex to let residents meet biologists and ask questions.
Pierson acknowledged some landowners may be wary of government access to property but said the project's aim is to identify species of interest and, where conflicts with development arise, "recommend mitigation solutions, rather than stopping a project all together." Commissioner Brian W. Smith praised Pierson's work and Commissioner Jocelyn Cramer noted there will be a follow-up public meeting at the end of the project to share findings. Presenters said project materials and updates will be posted on WayneCountyPA.gov under Plans and Studies.
