+## Try out the alternative version of this lesson!
+[A redesigned version of this lesson](https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/R-ecology-lesson-alternative/) 
+is currently in beta testing and 
+[the Data Carpentry Ecology Curriculum Advisors are looking for feedback](https://carpentries.org/blog/2023/07/r-ecology-alt-beta/)
+from Instructors who try teaching it,
+with the aim of evaluating whether it should be adopted to replace this lesson in the official Data Carpentry Ecology curriculum.
+
+If you are planning to teach a Data Carpentry Ecology workshop, or this lesson only,
+why not try out the alternative version and let the CAC know what you think?
