WILD Schools

Imagine being able to teach key parts of your curriculum in your own outdoor classroom, just steps from the door. Inspire your students with lessons that are captivating, action-oriented, and relevant to their lives. Empower young people to express their values through personal actions. The WILD School program gives you, the teacher, everything you need to do all that, while giving our natural heritage a boost program.

While there are now a large number of programs, manuals, and even Web sites devoted to habitat improvement, the Canadian Wildlife Federation's WILD School program is unique.

• The WILD School program is a wildlife habitat stewardship education program. We view habitat improvement as something that happens as a result of attending to stewardship and related concepts in the core science curriculum. It is education rooted in your very own, very real backyard.
• Single classrooms or entire schools can participate.
• You can make it as simple or comprehensive as you wish.
• Funding and support are ongoing.
• Awards go to all participating schools, recognizing the importance of each contribution.
• The program complements and links to WILD Education activity manuals including Project WILD, Below Zero, Fish Ways, and Focus on Forests.
