Are you an advocate for the Great Lakes? Are you looking to enhance your public education and outreach efforts? The Great Lakes Communications Toolbox was made for you! Created by Biodiversity Project and distributed by the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network & Fund, the Toolbox is a CD-ROM filled with strategic communications resources specifically designed for grassroots initiatives - like yours - working to protect and restore aquatic habitats in the Great Lakes Basin (the Toolbox is also available on-line).

The Toolbox provides a concise and accessible road-map for creating your own strategic communications strategy, with a pool of ready-to-use Great Lakes and aquatic habitat-related communications materials. The Toolbox includes valuable research on public opinions and attitudes toward the Great Lakes, a communications primer to help you develop your own successful communications strategy, an introduction to evaluation, as well as many ready-to-use images and Great Lakes communications products.

To order a CD-ROM, contact Brenna Wanous at (608) 250-9876 or brenna@greatlakestownhall.org. The Toolbox is also available on-line, courtesy of the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network & Fund.
