Project WILD/Aquatic WILD are wild-life focused conservation education programs with hands-on activities designed for integration into existing courses of study for formal and non-formal educators, K through 12.

At this workshop, participants will be introduced to Project WILD/Aquatic WILD materials, activities, and strategies.
The workshop will include an overview of the program, participation in Project WILD/Aquatic WILD activities, and information about the wildlife in Georgia. Participants will also receive the Project WILD and Aquatic WILD K-12 Curriculum and activity guides that provide hands on activities that can be used in a classroom.
