Skaneateles, NY — Two Pennsylvania dairy farmers will speak Wednesday night about their experiences after signing leases for natural gas drilling by hydraulic fracturing.
Dairy farmers Carol French and Carolyn Knapp will present “Hydrofracking: The Good, the Bad and the Very Ugly” at 7 p.m. at the Skaneateles First Presbyterian Church, 97 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles. French and Knapp will discuss their observations of hydrofracking in their community.
“They will address the benefits, the negatives, lease negotiations and the effects of intensive fracking on the air, water, roads, quality of life, health of people and livestock, and land values in Bradford County,” according to a news release.
Bradford County is the second “most fracked” county in Pennsylvania. The county is in northeastern Pennsylvania’s Endless Mountains region. French and Knapp will answer questions. The public is invited to attend.
The presentation is sponsored by the Skaneateles branch of the American Association of University Women. For more information, contact Skaneateles AAUW President Kathy Gorr at gorrlaw@yahoo.com or 685-6545.
