We do this to aid serious recordists who may wish to avoid organized field trips, on which non-recordists can unintentionally compromise your best recording effort. On Nature Conservancy preserves you and the coyotes may have the place to yourselves, and you may avoid recording livestock and off-road vehicles. Happy recording! Northern California Preserves
