Calling all grassland lovers and experts
by Emily Granstaff, User Support, Southeast Conservation Blueprint
The Southeast Blueprint has a couple of indicators to represent the quality of grasslands in the continental Southeast: Interior Southeast grasslands and Great Plains perennial grasslands. We strive to continually improve the indicators in the Blueprint, and this year, we're working on a big update that will hopefully combine these two indicators. We need your help to ensure that priority places for grasslands are represented in the Blueprint! Please sign up to attend a virtual, 1-hour meeting to review drafts of the new grasslands indicator! >>To learn more and register, check out Emily's blog post...

But staff also make a bunch of little tweaks and adjustments that aren't as high-profile, but are still important to remember! For a link to the changelog, >>visit Hilary's blog...
