Ah, yes, there is. I was refering to te degree available. Lecturing
degrees being mostly what I was interested in. What little I know
of the RUM sessions in the Midrealm do not include any information
on degrees you can possibly achieve. I'm rather sure we do
nothing like that, but I'll happily be corrected by someone who
has more information than I. :)

I think that's part of it. I've seen walks where everyone in the
class took something. Something they didn't need or had no
intention of using that day or in the near future (after drying, say).
"Take only pictures, leave only footprints" was what one good
park ranger quoted me once. I'd like to see that quoted more on
weedwalks.

Egads. I think I'll try my hand at teaching a RUM session first. :)
That seems more...more...familiar somehow. Less scary. I'd be
deathly afraid of grabbing some Sumac and suddenly realizing I'd
misidentified a plant (poison sumac being one of the harder ones
for me to identify consistently).

Please don't rush on my account. Thanks for the information.
