Cornwall Rivers
CD-ROM - an educational resource for all key stages
- now online
The Trust has
developed a CD-ROM, to be sent to schools around
the region that details not only the river but the
whole catchment, as well as learning activities
and games to be played either in the classroom or
in the field. Further details and ordering information
can be found on the Cornwall
Rivers Project website.
The CD-ROM is also
now available to view online at the CRP website
- click here
to view this resource (the provision for the educational
CD online was funded by the Ernest
Cook Trust).
