Hello Mike
I have just found out about your group and am interested in learning more. Unfortunately, I teach on the day of your first meeting. Please keep me on your mailing list. I am an environmental economist at Brock University. I have experience in undertaking non-market valuation surveys and am currently doing focus groups on wetlands values.
Thanks
Diane
