Project WILD and Aquatic WILD are interdisciplinary conservation and environmental education programs emphasizing terrestrial and aquatic wildlife resources. The goal of Project WILD is to assist learners of any age in developing awareness, knowledge, skills, and commitment resulting in informed decisions, responsible behavior, and constructive actions concerning wildlife and the environment. From awareness to action, this hands-on approach to learning engages students in investigating the world around them, connecting them to conservation careers, and participating in solid STEM activities. We invite classroom teachers, pre-service teachers, non-formal educators, and children/youth leaders (scouts, 4H, etc.) to participate in this workshop. Come prepared to spend time both outdoors and indoors. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, bring water, sunscreen, and any other necessary items. Make sure to pack a lunch and bring it with you as our location is 8 miles from the nearest restaurant. The workshop duration is typically around 6 hours. You will participate in 5 activity demonstrations. This is a FREE workshop! Educators will receive training, a guidebook set, a certificate, and the chance to instill wildlife conservation values related to terrestrial and aquatic wildlife resources.
