Over the coming weeks, CELT will be both creating more of our own content and sharing more from other conservation-related groups to help our community discover resources for learning and exploring the natural world despite the COVID-19 pandemic. We plan to post most things on social media first, and then periodically gather a digest for our website and email list. Here are our first recommendations:
