Project WILD’s mission is to help students learn how to think, not what to think, about wildlife and the environment. All curriculum materials are backed by sound educational practices and theory and represent the work of many within the fields of education and natural resource management from across the country. This workshop will help educators engage students in the learning process through effective and fun environmental education lessons. Age of youth served: Grades K-12. Workshop Objectives:
