The original publication in 1995 of Making Nature Your Business was a cooperative project made possible through Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas A&M University and the Lower Colorado River Authority.

Thomas D. Potts, Ph.D., Extension Specialist, Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634-1005, provided the nature tourism publication entitled Nature-Based Tourism Enterprises. His work was adapted and merged with strategic parts of Nature Tourism in the Lone Star State: Economic Opportunities in Nature, a special report developed by the State Task Force on Nature Tourism. These two publications were used in developing the original version of Making Nature Your Business. Now in its third revision (December 2002) the original publication has been updated, revised and added to by Linda Campbell, Nature Tourism Coordinator, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Making Nature Your Business was prepared for web distribution was by the Wildlife Web Coordinator, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Note: Making Nature Your Business is a working document, and will be modified and reprinted as needed. Please mail any comments or suggestions to Nature Tourism Coordinator, Wildlife Diversity Branch, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, TX 78744.
