Project Wild, 1
Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program
Kiki Corry is the Project Wild Coordinator for Texas Parks and Wildlife.
Project Wild is an environmental and conservation education program. It is nationally recognized and distributed internationally. And, Texas Parks and Wildlife is the sponsor here in Texas.
Corry trains the facilitators who make available Project Wild training workshops to teachers.
Some of them are teachers. Some of them work for nature preserves or camps, and they want to be qualified to train their staff. They like to contribute to the environmental literacy of the public.
Not all educators taking the workshops are classroom teachers.
Not necessarily just classroom teachers, but also people at preserves and zoos and museums—people who run summer camps. Because this is a very active curriculum, quite often the activities look like a game, but when they’re done properly, the participants in what looked like a game, come away with a much deeper understanding of different environmental concepts.

That’s our show… with support from the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program… funded by your purchase of fishing and hunting equipment and motor boat fuels. For Texas Parks and Wildlife…I’m Cecilia Nasti.
