The Florida Natural Areas Inventory is implementing a temporary reduction of office hours to four days per week, Monday through Thursday. The office will be closed and staff will generally be unavailable on Fridays. This reduction is expected to be in place August and September, 2010. This temporary measure will allow FNAI to continue to operate with a full range of staff expertise through a substantial, but expectedly brief, budget shortfall. We are actively pursuing new projects and expect to make up much of our budget in the coming months. We appreciate your patience with this temporary inconvenience.

of the Florida Natural Areas Inventory is to collect, interpret, and disseminate ecological information critical to the conservation of Florida's biological diversity. FNAI's database and expertise facilitate environmentally sound planning and natural resource management to protect the plants, animals, and communities that represent Florida's natural heritage.
