The NatureMapping Foundation Launches Website



The NatureMapping Foundation is a national 501(c)(3) organization which empowers individuals to participate in the inventory and monitoring of biodiversity. A new website was launched at naturemappingfoundation.org

The NatureMapping Foundation was established to provide funding and direction for the NatureMapping Program, to unify the efforts of NatureMapping activities occurring across the United States and abroad, and to provide a scientific link to the growing number of businesses, organizations and individuals who are working towards establishment of a new, sustainable economy.
