Roman: >Brooks, I'd like to ask you a few questions about your >center's work in this area.
I have been on this list for a number of years and enjoyed Brooks' many contributions but I remain in the dark as to what exactly constitutes the Harborne Foundation? What is its purpose, what kind of lab does it have, who does it employ, does it run a clinic etc? I once emailed Brooks privately but did not get a response. This is what I could find on google: A private foundation is spending $5,000 to move a threatened 100-year-old colony of prairie dogs to the Dallas Nature Center. The Harborne Research Foundation, funded by retired engineers Eric Harborne, 83, and Brooks Bradley, 72, wants to educate young people about the 170 species that depend on prairie dogs for their survival. The exact location of the new habitat is being kept secret until it is complete, according to The Dallas Morning News, because vandals killed prairie dogs and damaged cages during a similar attempt last year. NOTE TO READERS Beginning with this issue, Informed Philanthropist will be published every two months, or six times per year. The next issue will be dated May/June. Peter
