Project Wild  is a national Kindergarten through 12th grade wildlife education program correlated to the Virginia Science Standards of Learning.  Two Activity Guides, an Introductory Guide and an Aquatic Guide, provide educators with the information needed to teach wildlife conservation and the importance of habitat.  Six-hour in-service workshops are scheduled statewide, usually by local school systems.  The workshop is provided at no cost by the Department of Game & Inland Fisheries and the VA Division of the Izaak Walton League.  Educators receive an activity guide and information on Virginia's wildlife during the workshop.
