The conference was for natural resource professionals working in New Hampshire. Over 175 people including teachers, outreach professionals, researchers, resource managers and administrators, and graduate students attended the conference in Newington, NH. Its purpose was to build a common understanding of concepts of biological diversity and integrity.
