About Christopher Tracey

As the Conservation Planning Manager for the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program/Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, I coordinate data development to support conservation efforts, planning and decision making. By making biodiversity data available throughout Pennsylvania, I assist a wide range of organizations, including nonprofits, industry and government. With over two decades of experience in ecology research, field work and GIS analysis, I have worked on a wide range of conservation and protection projects, including Natural Heritage Inventories, rare species identification, and predictive species distribution modeling. I am also experienced in invasive species management and eradication.
