24FNRLI Graduates Say
- FNRLI gave me an invaluable review of
environmental conflicts and an introduction to
new tools and techniques for resolving those
disputes. Wes Wheeler - This experience has probably resulted in a major
career change for me. The subject of growth
management is so critical that I want to become
more directly involved, both professionally and
as a volunteer. The experiential learning and
networking has led me to think I may be able to
leave the world a bit better place than I found
it. Anonymous NRLI Alumnus (Post Fellowship
Survey Remarks) - I now feel like I am part of a strong network of
Florida natural resource professionals people I
can call on at any time. Emily Mott
