to
> experience the GSL hands-on, is on it's way to being "up and running". 
 It
> marks the start of a concerted effort to educate surrounding 
communities
> about the global importance of this "stinky" habitat.  The success of 
this
> program and the effect of its message depends on our ability to 
recruit
> dedicated, enthusiastic VOLUNTEER NATURALIST GUIDES who will represent 
the
> Conservancy to teachers, students and the general public.
