NatureServe is pleased to announce the Leader to Leader class of 2010. We received more than 60 applications for this initial offering, presenting the six reviewers with a difficult task to narrow down the class to 20 individuals.

This group represents a wide diversity in terms of geography, experience, and expertise, and we are confident their participation will have an equally wide impact on our network.
