Below is an email we received recently from a teacher after our Google alert 'found' a presentation posted by one of her students. The power of the web. Thanks Britt & Sarah for spreading the message about threatened species.
Hi FOHH,
I thought you may be interested in a couple of posts following a threatened species project I did with my Year 6/7 Science students at:

Sarah was very grateful to receive the newsletter and postcard from your members - it really is delightful when students get feedback from the 'real' world and when they know that the work they do is relevant and connected to the community.
Thanks Again, Britt G
