Project WILD
What is Project WILD?
Project WILD provides educators with the tools, training and resources needed to engage students in active, hands-on learning about wildlife
and the environment. The program focuses on developing students' critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills through the use
of cross-curricular lessons that are designed to address diverse teaching and learning styles. A balanced approach to key environmental issues
teaches students how to think, not what to think about wildlife and the environment.
The activity guides are available only by participating in interactive, hands-on, fun workshops. Workshop participants gain valuable experience in
using the guides, selecting and conducting activities to meet curriculum requirements and improve their content knowledge.
Since 1984, over 22,000 Oklahoma educators have attended an Oklahoma Project WILD workshop and been certified in Project WILD, Flying
WILD or Science and Civics. Oklahoma Project WILD is a program of the University of Central Oklahoma and is funded in part by the Oklahoma
Department of Wildlife Conservation.

Schools across the country are discovering an exciting new program that hits the bullseye in meeting
the physical education needs of their students. Through the Oklahoma National Archery in the
Schools (OKNASP) Program, students have the chance to excel today, tomorrow and throughout a lifetime in the unique sport of archery. The
National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), of which OKNASP is a part, is a coordinated effort and partnership between schools, state
