Traci,
You should try and enlist some of your classmates. I'd think that there would likely be others there interested in native fishes. Beside we middle-aged men are soon going to need help dragging seines through the water and I think a bunch of 20ish members would go a long in helping us soon to be old guys out.
( well not too soon actually)

I realize that it is important that I learn everything there is to know about 130 species of trees, and that I may someday need to find out how much merchantable wood is in a 75' 15" pine tree. I am a wildlife major, however, I am realizing this semester is about TREES. Actually, we did spend 20 min measuring long dead fish in one class, but we are back to trees now. Before I complain about school any more, I do love it. I am outside almost every day for lab. (getting bitten by bugs and measuring trees)

The idea of me spending a weekend w/ middle age men, not many women and no one my age, however fun the fish, is just not acceptable. (I also think that my significant other has something to do with this idea- party pooper!)
