Whats New

In 2006 Project WILD celebrated a milestone achievement of having trained 1,000,000 educators since its introduction in 1983. Utilizing the Project WILD curriculum, these educators have provided environmental education instruction to more than 53 million students enabling them to experience the outdoors and gain a deeper appreciation for wildlife and the need to conserve our natural resources. This success was made possible through the enthusiastic support of Project WILD's extensive and talented network of Sponsors, Coordinators, and Facilitators, who have make Project WILD one of the largest wildlife education programs in the world. This campaign is intended to honor members of this nationwide network as well as the sponsoring agencies and organizations.
