Project WILD is one of the most widely-used conservation education programs among educators of students in kindergarten through high school. Sponsored in Colorado by the Division of Wildlife.

Colorado Project Wild's conservation education newsletter, Colorado Connections, will keep you up-to-date on the latest developments in the field and new education opportunities.

WILD Facilitators can make good use of some Workshop Planning Tools, and, teachers interested in becoming a volunteer facilitator can learn more about it from the Become a Volunteer Facilitator page.

And, a new Project WILD (and Project Learning Tree) resource can help K-12 teachers and environmental educators teach learners of English as a second language.

Teaching Environmental Science Naturally (T.E.N.) is an interagency, site-based, outdoor environmental science program for teachers. The program utilizes the curriculum guides from Project WILD, Aquatic WILD, Project Learning Tree, and Project Wet. Developed by the Division of Wildlife.

Project Learning Tree (PLT) uses the forest as a "window" on the world to increase students' understanding of our environment; stimulate critical and creative thinking; develop an ability to make informed decisions on environmental issues; and instill the commitment to take responsible action on behalf of the environment. Sponsored in Colorado by the Colorado State Forest Service.

River Watch, is a statewide volunteer water quality-monitoring program. Learn about the program at the River Watch Web site or by contacting Curtis Hartenstine at 303/291-7439.
