Game Conservancy Trust: Mink control gains momentum
More than 50 conservationists representing wildlife trusts and environmental organisations from as far afield as Cornwall, Derbyshire, Cumbria and Aberdeen recently attended a very successful mink control refresher workshop run by The Game Conservancy Trust in Fordingbridge, Hampshire. The aim of the workshop was to pool knowledge and experiences, while benefiting from the latest research by the Trust on mink control, in order to maintain this national effort to save our threatened water vole population. To reflect further research developments in mink control, delegates to the conference were presented with the Trust's updated GCT Mink Raft guidelines, which include all the latest information necessary to use the rafts, as well as explaining, why to use rafts, how to construct them, how to identify mink tracks and much more besides.
Teens have MySpace, younger crowd has ClubPenguin
There's no denying that penguins -- those tuxedoed charmers with the happy feet -- are hot these days. But the flippered cinematic stars are just the tip of the iceberg. While grownups fret over MySpace and Facebook, ClubPenguin.com is taking over playgrounds and computer screens in elementary schools around the world. The Penguin appeal? Besides being engaging and cute, the site is safe, wholesome, commercial-free and predator-free. In Moraga, Calif., for example, 18 out of 23 fourth-graders in Ruth Manlove's Rheem Elementary classroom spend their leisure time swooshing down virtual ski slopes, decorating igloos and chatting with friends on ClubPenguin.com. Tweens and pre-tweens may not be allowed on teen fave MySpace -- at least not without lying about their age.
