Sandplain Grassland Network

The Sandplain Grassland Network is a regional partnership among researchers and managers that formed in 2016 to advance understanding and effectiveness of the management of sandplain grasslands. The Sandplain Grassland Network shares methods and understanding gained from experiences with managing grasslands across the region to better protect and foster the unique and rare species that sandplain grasslands support. The Sandplain Grassland Network contains representatives from BiodiversityWorks, the Forest Stewards Guild, the Linda Loring Nature Foundation, Nantucket Conservation Foundation, the Nantucket Islands Land Bank, The Nature Conservancy, and the Woodwell Climate Research Center. Contributors range from Maine to New York.
