Example annual report in Protocol Appendix. You are welcome to add more detail; these reports can be incredibly useful for collectors that come after you to start a new season on the right foot. They are also used by Agency and National coordinators to create
seasonal reports, find stories to highlight for presentations and briefings, and serve as a detailed record of how the season went. Annual Reports are incredibly useful for answering questions about past collections and are the first place we start when we
are trying to track down information. </div>
