I got mine from Angelo State, in west Texas, in ranch country, where I grew up.
But I also had 31 hours of college chemistry and a career in industrial chemicals, so my field is the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, both enacted by Congress.
I suspect you are on the same side of the coin regarding pollution that you are on regarding conservation.
Would you happen to know where a quail and many other animals/creatures that reside in the desert and arid lands get their water.
My biology degree was from Utah State, many years ago. My first job was with the Forest Service, back when it believed in multiple use. I later worked for the Utah DWR before entering the military.
Cutting out grazing hasn’t help the wildlife much. A friend had his sheep allotment stopped years ago to protect the desert bighorn, and now the bighorn have died off in that area - 15 years later.
Whoooooaaaa! You have a biology degree - whoop-de-doooo! Where did you get your range management degree?
