Using an iPad? Procreate is a great app to draw with

Desktop/Laptop? Krita is a great free app that Jacquie uses personally when she doesn't have access to photoshop

Bring 2-4 sheets of printer paper (if you plan to only draw in pen), some color pencils, erasers

Scenic photo of a river and mountains, with text: The American Fisheries Society stands strong in its support for the federal workforce. Federal fisheries professionals serve as the stewards of America’s natural resources. But the current termination of federal employees threatens the very foundation of fisheries and aquatic resources stewardship in this country. This stewardship is at risk, and with it the public trust resources citizens have enjoyed for generations. The continued layoffs and other attempts to reduce the workforce will erode the knowledge, skills and experience needed to manage our natural resources. This will have long-term devastating impacts on everyone who relies on public lands and waters for their livelihoods and well-being, as well as devastating an essential professional workforce for years, perhaps decades. The value this workforce brings to conservation, science, and stewarding our public trust resources cannot be overstated—all of which benefits every U.S. citizen. Read our entire statement: fisheries.org.
