Volunteers needed to help run forestexplorers.co.uk - all areas, all experience

[LeeOulton]

Hi all,

 

I have mentioned the site on here before but some people only log on once a month etc. So here goes:

 

Last year I started to plan a website which would provide young children with an exciting and educational look into forests of great britain.

 

And a year later the plans on A4 Notepaper have finally come to life.

 

I am not sure if I can post links in posts on arbtalk but im not a business trying to make money out of you all so here it is: Home - ForestExplorers.co.uk

Think of the children here! :-)

 

The site is live at the moment with a preview of what it will look like when fully active in 2012. So far I have around 400 schools signed up in the north west of england.

 

The reason to this post is that I will need as much help as possible.

 

So far there are 4 of us (all found on arbtalk) I need people who can spare a few hours to do a little bit here and there.

 

I am looking for people who can help with the website

 

I am looking for people who can help out creating activities

 

I am looking for people who can help coming up with new ideas

 

I am looking for people who can help with special subjects

 

You get the idea!

 

No website experience needed, you just need some spare time and connection to the internet,

 

Even if you help out once a year, it all helps.

 

If anyone likes the sound of my project and would like to help out in any way shape or form then please do get in touch with me.

 

Just like TESCO say: Every little helps :-)

 

Thank you for your time reading this post.

Lee this sounds like a brilliant idea and well done on getting this far, I'd be interested in helping out but am in Dorset, is this going to be just in the North West in it's initial phase?

I'm in north Devon, give us a shout if we can do anything to help down this way. We have/had some vast forests that are currently being shipped out from bideford, heading for Germany! I'm not that knowledgeable on forestry etc, but know a bit about trees in general.

Hi, Well, I have a page in my note book saying all areas so YES!

 

I aimed it at the north west as I am born and bread in Cheshire and know the area very well. I work in Delamere forest so this is why it is mentioned so much on the site.

 

It would be great to be open to all areas.

 

I sent a generic email out to all school in my area and I got a great response.

 

The idea is to go to the website, download and print what you want, go to the forest and carry out the activities. Woodland Trust do the same thing but we all love a good competition.

 

Any ideas, shout up.
