Yes, would love to join the Sustainable South East Group. I've just added the goup that i'm active in - Transition Tunbridge Wells to Project Dirt. Does this project join your goup through me - or does it need to become a separate member??? Am new PD member so not sure how it all works yet!!
Thanks, Pippa
Thanks for asking, but East Anglia isn't really South east England - however much I may wish it to be! At the moment I am joining forces with Ely Transition group and shall see where I go from there.
If anyone has other groups in the area (Newmarket, Ely, Cambridge triangle) I'd be pleased to hear from you.
will join the group
Thanks
Diane
No problem, please go ahead. And if you can also add that I am interested in corrections and comments for the next draft to edhill@glartists.com.
Thanks ...Ed
Hope all is going well?
I wanted to drop you a quick message - to let you know you can now access funding directly through project dirt.
As of today ... Timberland, the US boot guys - are making available £500 to 4 projects on the site. I just wanted to flag this with you in case you needed funds to help your projects.
Take a look at their project page http://www.projectdirt.com/group/timberlandEK to see how to apply.
I'm here if you need a hand with anything.
cheers

I thought I would alert you to our lecture next month:
Earthwatch Lecture – Conserving Biodiversity in the Americas
Thursday 7th May, 7.00pm-8.30pm at the Royal Geographical Society, 1 Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AR
Speakers: Dr. Richard Bodmer (Durrell Institute of Conservation & Ecology, and the Wildlife Conservation Society) & Dr. Kathleen Sullivan-Sealey (University of Miami). Chaired by explorer, writer and TV presenter Dr. George McGavin.
The very fact that the Amazon and the Caribbean are such attractive locations renders them all the more vulnerable to over-exploitation. Hear how Earthwatch scientists are addressing this issue in the Peruvian Amazon and on the coasts of the Bahamas.
Dr. Sullivan-Sealey’s lecture on her project ‘Coastal Ecology of the Bahamas’ is researching the impacts of development on Bahamian shores. Given their obvious appeal to tourists, the Bahamas have until recently been comparatively unmarred; but as the demands mount, so does the need for vigilance.
Using a mixture of traditional methods and the latest technology such as satellite image maps, this project, initiated in 2002, is charting the distribution and health of species both above and below the waterline, with the aim of balancing economic development with environmental protection.
Dr. Bodmer’s lecture on his project ‘Amazon Riverboat Exploration’ will outline how in many areas of the world's largest river, illegal timber companies, pet traders, and hunters have decimated wildlife. This brings extra urgency to the research being conducted by his team of local scientists and Earthwatch volunteers on two near-pristine stretches of the Peruvian Amazon. Operating from a vintage boat dating from the rubber boom period, they are collecting data on the extraordinary variety of species found there, from manatee and giant river otter to macaw and woolly monkey, with a view to securing their conservation.

Ticket only - free to students and current Earthwatch donors; otherwise a donation will be requested on the door.
For tickets and more information contact our Events Department on (01865) 318856; events@earthwatch.org.uk
I would be very grateful if you could circulate details to colleagues and contacts.
sorry for the slow response. Yes, they do get a welcome message ... but i always think it's nice to drop them a quick note to (because the welcome note is pretty standard).
cheers ... hope all well
