Wildlife Explorers

An afterschool curriculum exploring conservation careers.

Looking for a great after-school or summer program to keep learning going for your middle to early high school students? WILDLIFE EXPLORERS introduces students to five conservation careers and community roles: Ornithologist, Entomologist, Botanist, Soil Scientist, and Aquatic Scientist. The curriculum, filled with activities, introduces real-world problems and has the students conduct simple research to create solutions. See the PDF link below. 

This program was created with the help of BEYOND SCHOOL BELLS and the Nebraska Children & Families Foundation. There are two resource and equipment kits available – one here at Spring Creek Prairie and one with Beyond School Bells – for teachers/administrators to use with this curriculum. The kits are free to borrow.
