New Natural Resources Inventory to be Released

By Susannah Wood

The Norfolk Conservation Commission will release an updated edition of its Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) on Saturday, Aug. 5, during WIN weekend.

The original NRI was published in 2009 as a project of the Inland Wetlands and Conservation Commission to help guide the town in protecting its extraordinary natural resources. With the help of many of the same contributors, this new edition reflects increasing concerns about climate change and its local effects, expanded and edited lists of plants and animals and updated maps.

Print copies of the new edition will be available for sale over WIN weekend at the farmers market, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and also at the Hub from 1 to 4 p.m. The cost is $30. Checks should be made out to Town of Norfolk, with NRI in the memo line. If paying in cash, exact change is appreciated. After WIN weekend, print copies may be purchased at the town clerk’s office. A digital version of the NRI will also be posted on the town website on the Conservation Commission page.
