Join staff from the LLNF to learn about the importance of native plants in our ecosystems and their phenology. In this workshop we'll discuss the varied reasons for collecting plants- ranging from scientific to aesthetic, how to forage ethically, and the importance of herbaria. Each participant will also have the opportunity to arrange their own bouquet of native flowers to take home and join us in celebrating Nantucket's unique botanical diversity.

Labor Day has come and gone, and our community on Nantucket is being treated to seasonal change as we transition from summer into fall. Although fall exists worldwide, in my opinion, autumn in New England is the quintessential version. Brilliant colored leaves, pumpkins galore, a cool crisp in the air, and delicious treats are the bounties of the season. When imagining brilliant foliage, most people envision a getaway to New Hampshire, Vermont, or Maine, but today I am going to convince you that you can experience magnificent fall colors without ever leaving the island.
Bird is the word this week at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation and that is due to a very exciting revival of a previously beloved feature of the Foundation. If you are a lover of the Foundation, you might already know what I’m about to announce but for those who aren’t yet, let me get you caught up. This year has been full of change for the Foundation. One of the significant moments of change was the construction of our new fully sheltered learning space. We are so happy to have this space but with its construction came the loss of our bird feeder array, which had been a feature of the organization for more than a decade.
The first annual Inter-Island Bioblitz has officially concluded. After years of the Nantucket BioBlitz, for the first time ever, Martha’s Vineyard joined Nantucket for some friendly inter-island competition to record life across both islands and see who would emerge as the biodiversity boss!
Your support allows us to reach new heights in conserving and protecting Nantucket’s natural world.
Together, we are building a more resilient island that is home to the rare habitats and wildlife we know and love.
