Isla Earth Radio Series Digest
September 2006
 

Dear Reader,

I wanted to share with you our first Isla Earth Radio Series e-Digest with you. In each monthly issue we'll be highlighting one of our carriage stations as well as environmental and conservation organizations and groups in your community. Our open and click-through rates for this e-Digest have been phenomenal.

I look forward to working with you to prepare an e-Digest specific to your station and community. And, please feel free to forward the e-Digest to friends, colleagues, and station members with an invitation to sign up to regularly receive the e-Digest every month.

Isla Earth Radio Series e-Digest

In January, an engaging new science-based radio program was launched by the Catalina Island Conservancy. The Isla Earth Radio Series explores today's most important challenges and impressive successes regarding conservation and the environment. You can hear the program online at our website www.islaearth.org and on more than 200 radio stations around the world.

Today we're sending you our first online newsletter, the Isla Earth Radio Series e-Digest. Each monthly issue will highlight a few of our programs and give you the inside scoop in a special column called THE SCIENCE BEHIND THIS. Future issues will feature fun interactive puzzles and games for people of all ages.

The Isla Earth Radio Series e-Digest is for you. Send us your story ideas, nature pictures, or environmental and conservation questions by email at islaearth@adelphia.net. Or, click here.

We hope you'll elect to continue to receive the e-Digest by entering your email address in the box to the right under the heading "Join our mailing list", and journey with us as we explore many of the conservation and environmental issues most important to our world.
