The Nature Record Community Conversation
May 7, 2026
Nature influences the air we breathe, the water we drink, the homes we build, the stability of our climate, the health of our brains and bodies, and the strength of our local economies. Even for those who don’t focus on environmental issues every day, these connections are constant and deeply woven into daily life.
The Nature Record is the first comprehensive, independent, evidence-based assessment of how nature is doing in the United States and how changes in nature are shaping our lives, communities, and economy. The public comment period for The Nature Record Assessment is open. Members of the public are invited to review the assessment and submit comments to help improve its clarity, accuracy, and usefulness.
Come talk with the authors, learn about the report, and share your thoughts of The Nature Record Assessment. This free, public event will help shape the Assessment, and will include information sharing, Q&A sessions, and collaborative round table discussions.
The authors want to hear from you - input from everyone is welcome. Technical expertise is not required, and broad participation now will help ensure the Assessment reflects the best available evidence and the diversity of perspectives and experiences across the U.S. Comment today, share the word - and help shape this first-of-its-kind national effort!
