PROJECT WILD: A program that brings the great outdoors into the classroom…ahead on Passport to Texas. This is Passport to Texas The more children learn about nature and wildlife, the greater their potential of becoming good stewards of the land. That's the philosophy behind a program from Texas Parks and Wildlife called Project Wild. Project Wild is an environmental education program and conservation education program. The idea behind it is to help young people in grades K-12 learn about wildlife and understand natural resources. TPW Outreach and Education staff lead workshops that teach adults hands-on activities that incorporate wildlife- related concepts into the teaching of basic learning skills...like math, science, language arts and social studies. Different types of activities take place at each workshop. Some include quiet activities like drawing, writing and coloring. Some involve activities can be somewhat physical. All activities have an environment theme. Project Wild workshops are available to anyone who works with children. Educators who complete the workshops earn 6 hours TEA-approved CPE and TEEAC Credit. Find upcoming workshops in the calendar section of the TPW website. The WSFR Program supports our series.
