Wildlife damage resources digitized

The Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management has scanned and posted the first 16 volumes (1962-1994, plus indexes) of the Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings.

The center's announcement states: "This is the longest running animal damage control conference in North America, and the proceedings contain valuable information on the management of a variety of vertebrate species."

Additional wildlife damage resources are also available on the Center's
Digital Commons site (scroll down to browse the list of collections).
