Nantucket
Biodiversity Initiative Week 2010
The Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative (NBI)
is a collaborative effort of Nantucket’s leading
conservation organizations and off-island
partners to inventory and monitor the many
species of plants and animals found on Nantucket
and to educate the public about the importance
of protecting the rare elements that contribute
to Nantucket’s rich local biodiversity.
In 2010 the NBI is seeking scientists and
naturalists to visit Nantucket to conduct
biodiversity surveys in their area of expertise
during the 4th Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative
(NBI) Week from Sept 15-21
If you or any of your colleagues are interested
in spending a day to a full week on Nantucket
