Project WILD is offering two workshops this fall and early winter for adults who want to share the wonders of Idaho's natural resources with the next generation. While Project WILD is a wildlife-focused conservation education program for K-12 educators, you don't have to be a teacher to participate. The workshops are available for scout leaders, parents, day care providers, or anyone interested in sharing nature with children. Just ask Idaho teachers who participated in last summer's first WILD About Bats workshop. They are using the information they learned then and incorporating now into this month's Halloween lessons on the science of bats. To see how it works watch this video on Wild About Bats: https://youtu.be/f3JN5u03qQo. "Anyone looking for ways to incorporate nature and wildlife in the lives of young children should take part in these workshops," said Lori Adams, Project WILD Coordinator for Idaho Fish and Game. Workshops scheduled for November and December include: Focus on Literature with WET, WILD and Learning Tree: Workshop ties three top-notch environmental education programs with books; Jerome, November 6 and 7, Fish and Game's Magic Valley Regional Office, 324 S. 417 E, Suite # 1. A $35 registration fee covers your choice of one of the Project guides and three books to supplement your classroom library. University credit is also available. Times are 4 to 9 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. WILD about Early Learners: Offers teachers of pre-Kindergarten through second grade an opportunity to use modified Project WILD activities to fit the needs of a younger audience; Boise, December 4 and 5, Fish and Game Headquarters, 600 S. Walnut. Cost is $40 and university credit is available. Workshop participants receive an Idaho WILD about Early Learners Guide and the Project WILD and WILD Aquatics guides.
