Journey to this unique ecosystem with Mike Whittemore, land steward for TNC in Massachusetts, for a closer look at what makes these grasslands so special and rare. You’ll get an update about TNC’s work to restore native grasses to lands we manage, our research into the best techniques for restoration (including controlled burns!), and how we work with conservation partners on the Island to make it all happen. After a brief presentation, Mike will answer your questions live.
