On today's edition of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel discusses the pros and cons of belonging to an association vs. a club. To start, Stephen clarifies his thoughts on the need for wildlife control professionals to be united as an industry to make their voices heard, to lobby government more effectively. In fact, Stephen delves into the quality of the associations you belong to. Not all associations are healthy. However, there is value in joining associations. Our voices are more effective collectively than as a single individual. #wildlifecontrol #urbanwildlife #association #wildliferemoval Stephen M.
