Here’s what people say about ELCR Conservation Partner conference calls:
"I enjoy the conference calls as I learn so much from the presenter as well as from the other call participants. It is somehow comforting to find we are all experiencing the same problems and there are some creative solutions that are being tested. I am usually very quiet as I am writing like mad. I type up my notes and forward them in an email to NHHC officers so they may share in what I learned. Often I think the topic may not be interesting but I always learn something new and have never regretted taking the time to participate. Thanks for your hard work on behalf of all equestrians." Joan Ganotis, New Hampshire Horse Council
