This year's virtual meeting was attended by 168+ unique individuals or groups.  The MTNHP and other staff at the State Library provided updates on data centralization efforts and information product development and natural resource management partner agencies and organizations provided updates on key initiatives and work efforts and their information needs to support those efforts.  Partner's provided feedback on holding future meetings, MTNHP outreach efforts, and the importance of invertebrate zoology and vegetation ecology information.
