This event is part of the Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative’s 20th anniversary celebration week. Join the Linda Loring Nature Foundation’s Conservation Research, Education, and Stewardship staff to find, identify, and record as many plant and animal species as possible at the in-progress restoration area at 90 Eel Point Road, a part of the LLNF property currently closed to the general public.

In 2023, several acres of invasive pine were cut opening up the landscape to sandplain grassland and heathland species. As LLNF works to create a more resilient landscape, we plan to catalog the species currently occupying the area. We will traverse upland sandplain grassland habitat, freshwater wetlands, brackish pond edges, and some small pitch pine forests.

Help us catalog this newer property and be a part of our biodiversity inventory!  

Bring: fully charged cell phone with iNaturalist and/or eBird app downloaded, water, snacks.
