I must give credit for my first exposure to the myriad of laws and permit
procedures to the Museum Studies Program at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln and to the faculty that taught the courses on natural
history collections management.  Brett Ratcliffe scared the doo-doo out of
all of us students with ominous stories of non-compliance (in all honesty
he was very professional).  It is probably because of my experience of
learning about at least the basics of wildlife laws and permits in a
graduate program setting that I feel strongly that this is an arena in
which more education could take place on these topics.  Now, the trick is
to find a standard way to do this....*sigh*

Thanks again for the great discussion.

Sincerely,
Holly
