- Ecology Project International - I'm going to recruit 10 to 20 high school students and take them on an ecology project to Costa Rica to learn about leatherback sea turtles! It costs a lot - $21000 plus about $1200 for airfare (but it sounds very cool). I need help recruiting students who would be interested and able to afford it... If you know anyone or any way to help me advertise please email me. I need connections to high schools. (I'll talk to Kathleen about YES) - New board members - has anyone talked to their friends who might be interested in joining in Jan? - updating Wiki and Handbook - is this too much for Leah - should we create a working bee?
