Celebrate National Wildlife Week

Spring is rapidly approaching and we know that you're
already busy planning lessons and classroom
activities. As you finalize your schedule,
remember to save time to celebrate National
Wildlife Week, March 16-20, 2009.



Participate in three ways:

1. In your classroom -
Download free activities and service project
ideas for kids and teens, Wildlife Watch lists
of local plants and animals, and fact sheets
about the benefits of outdoor play.

2. Personally - Enjoy the wildlife in your community.
Get your family and friends outside to
for wildlife or participate in a wildlife habitat project.
Don't forget to share your wildlife photos and stories online:



3.  Spread the word - Forward this message to others,
including educators and parents, so they can get
involved during National Wildlife Week.


Since 1938, National Wildlife Week has increased
awareness about wildlife conservation and the
benefits of spending time outdoors.

Research shows that a daily Green Hour (unstructured time outdoors)
improves one's physical, mental and emotional
well-being. Be out there.



Starting March 1, visit the National Wildlife Week website to get your
free resources:

Sincerely,
