Project WILD Class to be Held at National Butterfly Center

Texas spiny lizard(Mission, TX) The National Butterfly Center is hosting a Project WILD certification class Saturday, May 4, from 9AM – 3:30PM. This environmental education workshop, sponsored by Texas Parks & Wildlife, provides professional development and valuable resources for teachers and informal educators, with activities that may be integrated into the instruction of core academic subjects and adapted to all grade levels.


This wildlife-focused conservation education program aims to foster responsible citizenship and stewardship of natural resources by connecting students to the natural world and all its wonders. For students K-12, Project WILD accomplishes its goal of developing awareness, knowledge, skills, and commitment with hands-on activities that meet all national, state and district standards in science, mathematics, language arts, social studies and expressive arts. This outside-in approach to making the outdoors meaningful opens eyes and engages the whole child, resulting in constructive action toward wildlife and the environment.
Anyone involved in teaching youth about natural resources, the environment and wildlife is invited to attend this six-hour program. Limited space is available. The course and all supporting materials are $25, and must be paid at the time of registration. In addition, there is a $10 Site Fee, which includes lunch for all attendees, to be paid at the National Butterfly Center on May 4th. Online registration is currently available through www.tpwd.state.tx.us, under the Calendar tab. Click on "Project WILD Programs" in the left hand column, and then select the "May 4, Mission, Texas" program.
