Guides

CWF’s Wild About Gardening and Education programs offer a range of informational guides. In 2008, the following guides were published:

Natural Insect Control

This handout was made available to French-speaking Canadians this year. It informs gardeners on how to increase their garden’s resistance to pests and teaches them how to control problem insects like aphids and cutworms.

Gardening for Pollinators

This handout informs gardeners of the benefits of pollinators and how to attract bees, pollinating flies, butterflies, night-flying moths and hummingbirds to their gardens.

Rivers to Oceans: Learning About Watersheds, Unit 2

Every year surrounding Rivers to Oceans Week, the education program delivers a Teacher’s Guide. For 2008, the guide entitled “Unlock Underwater Mysteries” was posted online and included classroom-ready activities, resource sheets and downloadable student worksheets. A Rivers to Oceans Week poster was also mailed to hundreds of educators across the country.

National Wildlife Week: Learning About Wildlife, Unit 26

This year’s National Wildlife Week Teacher’s Guide, entitled “Pollinators: from Flowers to Food to our Future,” was uploaded to the Wild Education website and included classroom-ready activities, background resource sheets on pollination topics and illustrations of pollinators. An informational poster was also mailed to hundreds of educators across the country.
