Calling all agents!
For the first time we’ve had such a hard time deciding on a single winner that we’ve awarded TWO Gold Awards! We were so impressed with the scope, dedication and initiative shown in the projects by Ringwood School and the Highlands & Islands Home Facilitator Team that we have decided to award them both Gold Awards.

Dear Roots & Shoots Members,
Happy New Year!
I have to admit that January and February are my least favourite calendar months - cold, dark and a bit miserable. But hope is here, Spring is on the way and given how quickly time passes will be here before we know it. To celebrate spring, this term Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots is encouraging schools to focus on projects which help benefit the environment, and in particular, will help minimise the impact of climate change over time. Read all about our recommended Spring term environment activities here.
And we have a lot to celebrate here at R&S - there are almost 700 groups taking part in our programme! What a great achievement and …

After the Roots & Shoots Annual Awards 2009 held in December, here is what our visiting members had to say:
“I would like to thank you for the invitation to the Jane Goodall Institute on Monday. Visiting you was a major and special event as you had recognized the valuable work that our “Afri-Twin” project had and continues to carry out.
Mixing with other groups and seeing how their various projects were run, has given us ideas about some aspects of our project as well as furthering “Environmental Awareness” which we will pass on to our school and our African Twin. We hope in time that overseas projects will have the opportunity to visit London to celebrate their success.”
