support continuing LPSS license and PWS certification programs
 

There is infinite wisdom in the collective response provided by others in this public forum in support of the professional soil science license and professional wetland delineation certification.  To be expected in a civil and advancing society; as we are all accountable and stewards of our ecosystem, there is no person, group of persons or entity that can deny the scripture for the required discipline in these applied sciences that underpins any reasonable governing agency of the people that states "Professional licensure protects the public by enforcing standards that restrict practice to qualified individuals who have met specific qualifications in education, work experience and examination".  We must acknowledge the unity found in conforming to a professional standard, the equitable benefit provided in adhering to and enforcing a professional standard, and we must take all of these words and comments under advisement.  I trust we are collectively wise in our judgement and shall continue the professional soil scientist license and the professional wetland delineation certification programs; otherwise we allow practice at something less than a professional standard and as a result we shall join in the chaotic state and contribute to the measurable degradation of our natural resources.
