Ch 1: Introduction

Optional activities to explore other perspectives about the topic.

1. Check a few websites that relate to wildlife damage management, such as the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management (see Appendix E).
    
2. Review the websites of a wildlife rehabilitation group, a trapping organization, and an animal welfare organization. How do their perspectives about the control of nuisance wildlife differ from your own? Consider joining and participating in their activities.
    
3. Develop a presentation for a local school class to explain what a NWCO does at work. (You don’t have to actually present it, just consider how you’d describe your job to a six-year-old).
    
4. Get to know other NWCOs. Join your state wildlife control association, or sign up for a listserve, or attend meetings and conferences.
