Thanks for the service. I am working with a group of 8th graders to produce a video about a bog that will inform our community about the importance of wetlands and diminishing habitat in our area (the fastest growing county in Pa.). I am a housewife, so I feel very lost looking for funding; but the bog was saved by a grassroots movement, so we're confident we can find the resources once more. If you can steer any onformation our way, we will be very grateful. Thanks
