Yesterday was a day for the ages, I can’t even tell you the weirdest part yet but trust me it’s weird. I was exhausted by 11:30. And then I thought to myself maybe the best way to lure more CDFW folk to the summit was to ask someone on the inside how its done. So I wrote such a person and was told to contact the scientist in charge of their list-serve, which I did and voila!
Invitations to the conference went all across CDFW emails. And now we within 20 minutes we had 50 scientists registered instead of 11. Plus 400 registrants overall. And I thought WOW. This could make a real difference. It’s a little bit wonderful they leapt on board and also a little bit horrible.
It means that these state scientists have been WAITING for beaver education hungrily. And with all their resources and brain power at their disposal the state thought “Nyahh, It’s not worth it. Let’s wait for some crazy nonprofit to do it. instead”
Thank goodness we did.
