PSE's Avian Protection Program
Did you know that PSE has an avian protection program? Since the 1980’s, PSE has been working to protect birds and their habitats by responding to bird-power line interactions, implementing bird-friendly construction standards to reduce the risk of bird electrocutions and collisions, coordinating with vegetation management and construction project managers to minimize impacts on nesting birds and habitat, and coordinating with state and federal wildlife agencies, wildlife rehabilitators, and others to help address avian concerns region-wide.
PSE’s avian protection program is recognized by federal wildlife officials as an industry model for reducing the impact of utility equipment on migrating and resident bird populations.
We are continuously evaluating our program and the procedures we have in place to continue to reduce our electrical system's impact on birds.
