Editor's Notes
- I manage CS projects for ZSL and I want to touch on 3 of them today our longest established CS project in thames region -eels, newest project smelt and show you how we have used Bens ARMI in London.
- The mediator : who has the negotional skills of cofe anan but with a lot more red tape
- Breaking all the rules- CS projects work with nice simple methodologies but we are asking very demanding things of our CS volunteers
- Check the tabloids for the latest news from the project Communication via on –line makes CS projects so much easier to manage
- Privilege to work with people who are driven by enthusiasm and interest Feedback is very important for cs projects – reports and forums where we have guest invited speakers. Sense of community , share knowledge and help with that co-creation of a project and ownership of an issue.
