[Lincolnparkdc] Fwd: [hillhounds] Neurotoxin in Lincoln Park DC

Wed Feb 26 14:36:27 EST 2020

Mark sent a similar email to some folks at NPS, but I'm not sure Mark had
the contact information for the superintendent. He sent it to

diana_bramble at nps.gov,
Alex_Tremble at nps.gov,
ann_honious at nps.gov

If you have the contact information, I am sure he would send it there as
well.
