*2013-04-21**NRMI: NATURAL RESOURCE MONITORING ITEMS OF INTEREST*

This Issue:***/Surveying Boreal Frogs /*and Some Other Good Things

*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP? /Restricted Use Technology/*-- 
Recently I ran across some references to 'Restricted Use Technology' but 
have been unable to find a good definition of it and any references to 
its use with natural resource monitoring. If you have any information to 
share, please send to me at gyde at cpmcast.net <mailto:gyde at cpmcast.net>. 
Thanks, Gyde.*
