Dear ${member.firstname},

 

Welcome to your April eNewsletter. This month our special expeditions feature focuses on our teams for 16 and 17 year olds - if you are a teenager, parent, or even a teacher planning a trip for your students, then take a look below.

 

And don´t forget, for UK teachers of science, geography or citizenship, there´s still time to apply for a fully-funded place on an Earthwatch expedition this summer. But don´t delay - the closing date is fast approaching!

 

Happy Easter from the Earthwatch team.
