Professionalism*:

Yes No

Vendors are expected to conduct themselves and present their booth space in a professional manner at all times.

CCPRC Procurement Guidelines For Wildlife & Wildlife Derived Products Acknowledgment:

Vendors ensure that all of their resale items adhere to the following:

Wild Animal Derived Products*:

Yes No

No animal derived products taken from wildlife resources will be allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, sand dollars, starfish, crabs, sea urchins, and sea shells. Bee products and feathers are allowed.

Selecting "yes" indicates your agreement.

Wild Plant Derived Products Other Than Wood*:

Yes No

No products taken from living wild plants, with the exception of sweetgrass, will be allowed. If an item can normally be obtained only by taking it from a living wild plant, the item will be assumed to have been taken from a living and not a dead plant. Wild plant derived products such as pine needles, sweetgum seed balls, magnolia seed pods or other similar items, are allowed because they can only reasonably be collected after the plant part has fallen from the tree. Wood products made from widely available lumber derived from commercial timbering operations or any wood supplied by a certified sustainable forest operation will be allowed.

Selecting "yes" indicates your agreement.

Special Cases*:

Yes No

CCPRC may allow specific animal and plant products taken from “wildlife farming” or timbering operations if the vendor can provide a certification from the farm or timber company from which these items were taken. A signed letter from an appropriate staff member on official letterhead will suffice as certification. Cypress knees taken from a cypress timbering operation or deer antlers taken from a commercial deer farming operation are two examples.

Selecting "yes" indicates your agreement.
