The first annual Long Island Natural History conference took place November 16 at Brookhaven National Lab. Two hundred naturalists, biologists, and just plain folks interested in preserving Long Island's natural world attended thirteen sessions on topics ranging from river otters to Plum Island's ecology. Videos of all the sessions are available at the LINO site. This was the first project of the newly formed Long Island Nature Organization. Learn more about the group and its aims here.
