We could never voice enough praise and gratitude to the many dedicated wildlife biologists who met with us during our field studies.  Through them, we learned so very much about wildlife conservation that we were able to come back to New York State with a real appreciation for the "front line" of wildlife  conservation.  If we are able to instill in our audiences just half of the passion and commitment that these wonderful people shared with us, then we will be more than successful in our educational endeavors! 

Thank you so much!
