Abstract
Never underestimate the power of policy, whether it be –
• Wildlife
• Fisheries
• Tax
• Land
Joint venturing doesn’t have to be costly in time or money.
Backyards are becoming more plentiful than back fortys – think urban wildlife.
Appeal to multiple values when selling wildlife and fisheries conservation (father, son, mother, daughter).
The extension demonstration method is still a very effective communication technique.
Third party testimony is more effective than personal advocacy.
Build consensus: all of us are smarter than any of us.
Enjoy your extension career. It is one of the very best in the natural resources field.
