As the solar industry expands, integrating land stewardship practices is essential to ensure long-term environmental and community benefits. This session will explore how thoughtful site selection, habitat preservation, and dual-use approaches—such as agrivoltaics—can enhance the ecological value of solar installations. Attendees will learn how land stewardship efforts protect biodiversity, improve public perception, and align with broader sustainability goals. Real-world examples will illustrate how projects of all scales can be executed while maintaining and protecting natural systems.
