Below Zero
A supplementary education program that focuses on understanding
wildlife in frozen environments. That's certainly the Northeast
for several months of the year! Below Zero was created by the Canadian
Wildlife Federation and designed to complement the Project WILD
activity guide. Like Project WILD, Below Zero activities are both
interactive and inter-disciplinary, and target both formal and non-formal,
K-12 students. If you are looking for ways to enhance your students'
or visitors' understanding of the winter environment and the many
adaptations and strategies wildlife use to survive it, then this
content- and activity-based workshop is for you. <return

Project WILD and WILD Aquatic
workshops
Project WILD is an international activity-based, supplementary curriculum
that is a great help in the teaching of conservation and environmental
education concepts. Targeting classroom teachers and non-formal
educators of K-12 students, Project WILD activities focus on wildlife
and are both interactive and interdisciplinary. As students are
intrinsically interested in wildlife, they readily engage in learning
when it's related to wildlife. While the Project WILD manual is
full of activities relating to terrestrial wildlife, activities
included in the WILD Aquatic manual focus on wetlands wildlife.
