Requirement
4. Five management practices used in your state
Required
Listed and described, and used by managers in your state. Your state wildlife agency is the source for this, and it is the same agency that publishes what requirement 6(b) needs.
Notes and warnings
Note. This and requirement 6(b) draw on the same source, your state wildlife agency, and the badge connects them nowhere. Requirement 4 wants five management practices used in your state; 6(b) wants management practices for at least three classified species. If you intend to choose 6(b), doing both in one research session saves a second trip through the same publications.
