NFC: Collecting and BP...ETC
Wow, this is kind of getting negative. I don't think that either of you
meant to 'slam' on the other, maybe I am getting my signals crossed, but it
seems that is happening. Chris, why are you defending yourself? It sounds
like you are shooting back defences to comments that Robert
made....Anyway...Maybe what we should do as far as local involvment is have
the 'club heads' send out some suggestions, maybe post local ways to get
involved on the website? I have no clue where to start, as far as
collecting and conservation, etc. I tried looking in the local rivers
(Western Washington) and found nothing. Just some nice looking plants.
Suggestions? Greg
