🌿 Looking Back: A Year of Wild Learning<\/h2>\n

This school year, WILD Education newsletters supported learning across the seasons:<\/p>\n

Fall:<\/strong> Trees and Seeds<\/a>, Nocturnal Wildlife<\/a> and Migration<\/a>
\nWinter:<\/strong> Adaptation<\/a> and Hibernation and Brumation<\/a>
\nSpring:<\/strong> Thaw<\/a> and Pollinators and Plants<\/a><\/p>\n

Each theme encouraged outdoor learning, inquiry and stewardship \u2014 helping students understand that nature is not something \u201cout there,\u201d but something we are part of.<\/p>\n

🎉 Celebrating Educators & Students<\/h3>\n

\u201cWhat if I told you that by being in the outdoors, we can not only change landscapes, but people too? That\u2019s my mission, because through getting people involved in the outdoors, I believe we can change the world.\u201d<\/em> – Nate Wilbourne<\/a>, 14 years old.<\/em><\/p>\n

Whether you transformed a schoolyard, planted pollinator gardens, used Project WILD activities or simply took learning outdoors more often \u2014 your efforts matter. Research continues to show that time in nature supports student well-being, engagement and learning, and this year clearly demonstrated what\u2019s possible when educators make space for nature.<\/p>\n

We celebrate you<\/strong> for:<\/p>\n
