BROCHURE
The ECF offers a free, one-page (front and back), three-fold brochure entitled Living with Cougars in Eastern North America. It is designed for printing on legal-sized paper (8.5 X 14”), but will also print (with very small type) on 8.5 X 11” paper. You may print it either in color or in grayscale to economize. It is in PDF format for which you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you can download for free. There is no copyright on this brochure so feel free to print it out from the web, copy, distribute and otherwise get it into general circulation.
To print and fold a two-sided brochure, be sure to select only page 1 to start. Then (if you have Word), go into Properties. Set the Paper Size at 8.5 X 14” (Legal) if you have this size of paper. If you are going to print a lot of copies, you may want to click on the Advanced tab and select Grayscale rather than Color. Run the printed copy through the printer a second time to print Page 2 on the other side. Fold the brochure carefully in half with the cover, LIVING WITH COUGARS IN EASTERN NORTH AMERICA, on top. Then fold it a second time so that the cover stays on top.
We use PayPal as an internet payment gateway. When making a purchase and you get to the checkout page you will have a choice of using a major credit card or a PayPal account if you have one.
