I work with

COIN http://coinet.org.uk/
People and Planet http://peopleandplanet.org/
Best Foot forward http://www.bestfootforward.com/

I wonder if they would like to come.

Coin do training.  Normally they charge for this.  The training is pretty interesting as the point is to increase awareness without preaching, or letting the participant slip into hopelessness.

I am a Wildlife Explorer ( Junior RSPB) leader, also a Forest School Leader...

I don't know if the local RSPB would be coming ( I don't have a local group here ....) but it might be good to ask them, and the local Wildlife Trust, also The Woodland Trust ...they do brilliant stuff and their Nature Detective Site is excellent for children.

Hmm...do you want some children oriented Workshops, with environmental games and such like?

Forest schools rock! 

I feel that we could go even further with the children aspect and put catering for them at the core of the festival:-

• Its their planet
• We will win a great deal of support for year 2

If I could have more info on the when, where, who organising, how much a pitch sort of stuff I could ask the Woodland Trust, RSPB, Wildlife Trust contacts if they were interested in attending?

I am happy to do this BUT I would need some info in advance of doing so as they WILL want to know such details!

and a Happy Yule to all!

Yes, good point. It's something that's taken a bit of a back seat over the last few months. We should get the details sorted out over Christmas (should have the 'exhibitor pack' done by then) - will let you know as soon as it's ready.

Seasons Greetings to all as well
