Saturday
We spent time today on non-clinical issues. Michael Manfredo from CSU spoke about the human dimensions of managing wildlife, and the sociological aspects of people's beleifs on wildlife and its value. Gwen Griffith, of the Cumberland River Compact, spoke on green development and how her organization is implementing green building projects in the Cumberland River watershed. In the afternoon we had a grant review workshop with Robert Perry, the former Environment Program Director (meaning head environmental grant-reviewer) for the Dodge Foundation. We learned about components of an effective grant proposal, and did a mock review on a proposal. This was very useful for ideas about how to write our own pre-proposal for our group project.
Sunday
This morning we had a media training exercise with Rob Hilsenroth, the Executive Director of the AAZV, practicing talking to the media and pitching our own stories. We had the afternoon off, and I went to Fernandina Beach with my Aunt Marybeth, and had a lovely and relaxing time.
