The Children's Forest

The Children's Forest is Yorkshire Water's Millennium project. It's linked to the national 'Trees of Time and Place' campaign, supported by 30 environmental organisations to encourage people to grow trees from seeds in their local landscapes.
Primary school children will create a real forest environment on Yorkshire Water's land at Esholt, near Bradford.
This (the Shockwave version) is a visually stunning site - great message too.
Requires Shockwave.

www.lomo.com
www.lomo.com
Site dedicated to the art and science of Lomo, Lomography and various worldwide Lomographic endeavours. The love-child of the little Russian Lomo camera, this is propably the mother of all image.coms. View thousands of images from around the world, all taken from the most impossible angles, in the most impossible social situations. A must for all those addicted to images.

Viaduct furniture

Another 'Flash' site I am afraid - but a very fluid and sophisticated one (although slightly unintuitive). Given the target audience and subject it is excellent.

Pestbusters
www.pestbusters.com.sg
He he he!
Who would have thought that pest removal could be so fun. A 'flash' site that turns a dry subject into a 'want to visit' site.

Willing to try
www.willing-to-try.com
This animated journey represents the philosophy of the Try Group, a Japanese organization that is seeking new methods of learning within Japanese schools (in which academics are currently stressed over individualism). They encourage children to see that there is more than one way of looking at what is presented to you.
