When the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary applied for accreditation with the American Sanctuary Association, ASA required a lot of documentation. To create the 153-page application, I was able to use some existing materials, but I still had to create quite a bit from scratch. This included a heavily-illustrated, 20-page “About the Facility” document and some new policies and procedures.
The application form “ticked all the boxes” and brought ASA representatives to the Sanctuary, which received its official accreditation later that year.
