Don't forget to pass around a sign-up sheet. You may want to ask a local conservation leader to speak on the issue and how it relates to your community. Let the audience know how they can get involved and when your next meeting is. If you never make front page news, an on-going lte effort will make forest protection an issue by repetition alone. Gaining television coverage outside of large cities is surprisingly easy with a local angle.
Media guides are available.
This is a great opportunity to invite local citizens, community leaders and the media. Always have an on-going recruitment effort to build your group. Weekly tabling is a great way to recruit. This is one of the most effective ways to make forest protection an issue on your campus. Generally, the purpose of tabling is to educate students about issues, distribute information and recruit new students.
