Climate change will impact native plant species in New England. The Native Plant Trust and The Nature Conservancy said states need to preserve at least an additional 2.3 million acres of land in specific locations to save the flora that both beautify and protect their landscapes, according to a new report released by the groups this week.
“We wanted to know if more than a century of conservation in New England has protected enough land in the right places to save the region’s plant diversity,” said Debbi Edelstein, executive director of Native Plant Trust. “The collaboration with The Nature Conservancy merged deep botanical knowledge with robust data modeling to generate a powerful approach to land protection that can direct limited funding to the best places for preserving the region’s plants and the living systems they sustain.”
