Project Wild
Project WILD is one of the most widely-used conservation and environmental education programs among educators of kindergarten through high school and informal education.
A WILD Curriculum!
Project WILD aims to provide wildlife-based conservation and environmental education that fosters responsible actions toward wildlife and related natural resources.
With over 250 hands-on lessons, WILD activities are engaging, teaching students how to link - not what to think - about fish and wildlife conservation. These lessons are easy to use and are a cost-effective way to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
How do I obtain project WILD curriculum guides to implement in my classroom?
You must attend a training workshop to get your hands on the Project WILD curriculum. These are offered throughout the year at a minimal cost to cover curriculum materials.

Project Learning Tree
From its beginnings in 1976, Project Learning Tree has exemplified high-quality environmental education. It is the environmental education program of the American Forest Foundation.
Teach kids about trees, forests, and the natural world- and help them understand and value the environment's important role in our lives.
Make learning fun both outside and indoors! PLT has a variety of curriculum guides for grades PreK - 12. The Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood guide offers over 130 hands-on experiences to engage students.
PLT environmental education activities:
