WILD Education

Natural Connections

Young people today are less connected to the natural world than at any other point in human history. Without a connection to nature, future generations will be less likely to develop a conservation ethic when they grow up.

As an educator you can strengthen this natural connection. WILD Education is a professional development program that trains educators like you to become certified instructors of Project WILD, Below Zero and WILD about Sports.

These interdisciplinary programs provide a toolbox of interactive indoor and outdoor activities to engage youth in learning about and taking action for wildlife and the environment.

Below Zero Workshops

Where do dragonflies go when the snow flies? What keeps wood frogs from croaking in winter? Most Canadians live with snow and ice for at least five months of the year, yet we know surprisingly little about life in frozen environments. Put on your long johns and join us on an amazing sub-zero safari into the winter world of wildlife!
