Because human and vertebrate pest conflicts are on the rise in urban and rural areas, there is an urgent need to increase awareness and adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in vertebrate pest management. Extension Professionals and others who work in the fields of wildlife damage must possess knowledge and resources to address this need. With that situation known, the IPM Pesticide Safety Education Collaboration Team invites you to take part in this needs assessment survey of Extension Professionals, State and Federal Wildlife Agency Staff, Technical Advisors, and other Wildlife Control Professionals throughout the United States and its territories. If you fall into one of the listed professions, we invite you to take this survey. Furthermore, we encourage you to forward this email to others you know working in these fields.
Below, we provide more information about the survey.
