Wild and Blue School Youth Projects »
Through the Wild and Blue School Youth Project program, CWF is inspiring and supporting creative and critical hands-on learning through wildlife habitat projects, like plantings focusing on native species. Educators can apply to certify a wide range of projects, like developing butterfly gardens, shelterbelts or duck nesting boxes. Many students learn by doing, and by supplementing teacher training with project resources CWF is engaging youth in important activities to protect ecosystems across this country. In 2009, 66 schools conducted 86 habitat education projects involving 11,582 students and youth who were supervised by 110 educators.
