Event Description:
Join the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound and guest speaker Dr. Sarah Bois, Director of Research and Conservation at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation, for a deep dive into the botanical and biological wonders of the coastal grassland ecosystems of Nantucket. These maritime sandplain grasslands are a globally imperiled habitat host to numerous rare and endangered flora and fauna. Sarah will guide us through why these grasslands and heathlands are so special, how the maritime climate, including wind and salt spray shape these habitats, and what we are doing to protect them into the future.
