The Fall 2012 issue of Natural Selections, the DoD Natural Resources Program quarterly newsletter, is attached. It focuses on policy and planning efforts under way and new resources and tools now available.
Two new features–Steppingstones and What's Hoppin' in DoD PARC–will serve as recurring corners for the DoD Partners in Flight (PIF) and Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC) programs, respectively. With these additions, we hope to provide a more holistic voice for all natural resources topics of interest to our readers.
