Reviews
- Overall a good course.Review by Glenn

I would add a way to show that after a learner has completed a section that is appear on the last page of that section, or as the learner progresses. I would be very leery of using the word "our" in places that implies possession of parks, or conservation areas, where staff are being quoted. I would encourage the use of quotes where the word "your" is used to show that staff recognize that they understand and the listener understands who owns public lands and/or places.
