Topics ranging from basic bird biology, identification and ecology, to bird conservation service learning activities such as bird festivals and monitoring projects promote greater environmental stewardship

Illinois Audubon Society and the Environmental Education Association of Illinois are working together to bring Flying WILD workshops to your area.  Developed by the Council for Environmental Education under the guidance of a large number of environmental education professionals and wildlife conservation organizations, Flying WILD activities have been field tested in classrooms across the nation.

A Flying WILD Educator Workshop is a three hour training session presented by a Flying WILD facilitator. The workshops will:

• Introduce educators to Flying WILD materials and concepts.
• Demonstrate how educators from all disciplines can incorporate Flying WILD activities into their curricula to help meet the needs of their educational goals and objectives.
• Provide a sampling of teaching strategies and at least three Flying WILD activities.
• reate an atmosphere in which educators, resource personnel and others can meet and share information and encourage continued communication and support for environmental education.
