>>Real quick... because I have to leave... I just want to comment on finding
a
new name other than collecting. I always thought this term opened a can of
worms with DNR folf, and animal rights activists. How about "Harvesting"...
"picking"... "selecting"...."gathering" These words, however would
probably demand a specific explanation, and somehow it all goes back to
collecting! HA! :-) Suggestions????...<<

"Sampling" has good connotations. It suggests taking a small part of a
larger whole, without directly implying possession or destruction. It also
suggests an activity that is methodical and scientific.
