Rodewald Subject: Conservation/Ethically sourced specimens for the art of taxidermy Hello, Amanda, I am trying to connect with enthusiasts in the area, that can help me work with naturally passed specimens. I’m a self-taught beginner taxidermist that is looking to work with birds, and small exotics. Could you kindly give me a call to discuss what opportunities locally there might be for me to explore? I’ve reached out to several departments at Cornell, but would love to have some warm referrals if possible. If you’d welcome an informal meeting in person, I would love to do that too. Please let me know what your preference is, and I’d be most happy to work with you. Warmly, Rachel On Sep 22, 2017, at 12:44 PM, Amanda D.
