Comments I wanted to let you know I thought this was the best issue of The Volunteer Monitor that I’ve ever read. It happened to come at a very appropriate time because I’ve been doing a lot of invasive species work with our Master Naturalists, but none focused on aquatic species... The first article on the Maine program was especially helpful. Michelle from Virginia |
