Mapping Biodiversity: A Practical Guide to Connecticut’s Natural Diversity Database
This session will provide a comprehensive overview of Connecticut’s Natural Diversity Database (NDDB) Program—an essential resource for understanding and protecting the state’s rare, threatened, and endangered species. Participants will learn how the NDDB is developed and maintained, how it informs regulatory review, and what land trusts need to know when planning stewardship, acquisitions, or habitat projects.
