Drama+Pre-text+-+The+Custodians

**1. Stunning new scientific breakthrough**
There have been some amazing scientific breakthroughs recently. It appears that the secret stores of knowledge that trees have held within them will now be revealed. A consortium of Australian and international researchers have shared their discovery with trial groups. They are now asking that we in Australia discover and share the stories of our trees. //(Teachers note: here is a [|webquest link] that may be used with students)//
