Pollinator Curriculum Available NOW!

The NAPPC Pollinator Partnership pollinator curriculum for children is now
available online!

The direct link for "Nature's Partners: Pollinators, Plants and You" is
http://www.nappc.org/curriculum/

Here is another way to access it: Go to http://www.pollinator.org/ if you
click on "Useful Resources" and then look under the heading "Education." It
is listed as "Nature's Partners: A Comprehensive Curriculum, etc."

It is also available on the pollinator.org homepage near the bottom
right-hand corner under "Contact Us."

And on http://www.nappc.org/, the curriculum is available on the homepage
under "Featured News," (a photo will be forthcoming)!

This incredible effort is the result of SEVERAL years of work on the part
of a variety of NAPPC partners who have worked tirelessly and unselfishly
to make this happen - - and to have it made available to anyone who can use
it.

The package has been tested in informal learning circumstances from 4-H
Clubs to Corporate Educational outreach programs.

There are two people who made ENORMOUS contributions to this project and
need to be recognized: First, Ella R. Madsen who started this project while
at UC Davis.  That was two years of effort.  Then she attempted to quietly
slip into retirement and was enticed to return for two+ more years of
service on this project!

The second person who truly made this happen was Suzanne DeJohn of the
National Gardening Association.  She breathed life into this project with
her creative designs, illustrations and organization.  Suzanne has made
this a complete package and engaged the National gardening Association in
offering companion pieces to the curriculum.

There is no way to properly thank both of these conservation leaders for
the incredible job they have done. Compliments to them will be forwarded!

In addition, there are many people to thank for this curriculum and they
can be found on the acknowledgments page where all contributors are listed:

Please let me know if we have left anyone off! - (LDA at coevolution.org)
Thank you to everyone who was involved and also those who will be involved
going forward.

The most important thank you for everyone who worked tirelessly on this is
to see this WIDELY IN USE!  Please feel free to forward the links to any
resource you have who could utilize this material -- or who would like to
build a program starting in National Pollinator Week (June 24-30, 2007) or
ANY time!

We also welcome FEEDBACK and new ideas for handouts, modules and
improvements - just send them to KM at coevolution.org.  We hope to
continuously improve this.

Thank you and congratulations!
