Project WILD is a hands-on professional development workshop that emphasizes awareness, appreciation, and understanding of wildlife and natural resources. The workshop is designed to meet the needs of K-12 educators in both formal (classroom) and non-formal (nature centers, museums, zoos, parks, scouts) settings. Throughout the workshop, educators will get a chance to model interdisciplinary activities that include subjects such as Art, Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.

Growing Up WILD is an early childhood education curriculum that builds on children’s sense of wonder about nature and invites them to explore wildlife and the world around them.  Growing Up WILD is a multi-award-winning curriculum, having received the 2009 Family Choice Award and the 2011 Renewable Natural Resource Foundation Excellence in Journalism Award.

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 outdoors. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, bring water, sunscreen, and any other necessary items. You can pack a lunch and bring it with you.

This is a FREE workshop! Educators will receive training, a guidebook, a certificate, and the chance to instill wildlife conservation values related to terrestrial wildlife resources.
