Check it out — great website!
Thanks to our Webmaster Eric for all of his work on this awesome new website. Graphic Designer Sara Holle and LEP National Coordinator Janine Kohn get some credit too for “inspiring” Eric. It’s a fresh new look with lots of information and what’s most exciting is that you can be part of it. Let us know your thoughts — send a post and tell us how you use the Leopold Education Project or share your personal thoughts on the importance of a land ethic and getting kids outdoors. We’d love to hear from you. –Cheryl

Dear Janine,
I couldn’t get the e-mail address I had for you to work so I hope this is ok. I was at the focusing on forever meeting and I know I should have e-mail in Aug. after trying out you wilderness survival stations. But to be honest I remembered only after I saw a camper recently who mentioned how much he enjoyed those stations.
I wanted to thank you for the info. I did this program toward the end of our day after explaining some of the concepts – like where to secure and what not to move on an injured person and shelters and such. We did the program – the kids did not want to move from the fire making station with the different tools. They all got frustrated at the wet matches. I only helped a very little when they seemed not sure where to start on certain stations
I want to do the station concept again this year but I want it to be different things- I am thinking of moving an injured person with nothing to spare for a decent distance, signaling with a mirror to a friend, making a snare, trying to make fire with the bow and arrow technique, and I am not sure what else, maybe reusing the finding uses for various objects- some of the kids really like that one as well as the moving the injured party and shelter building.
Again, thank you!
