Program Description
Designed for kindergarten through eighth-grade youth across Vermont, this program allows students to get outside and explore the Vermont landscape in a unique way.
Students will watch a pre-recorded video highlighting a unique Vermont species each week. Each class also has the option to participate in question-and-answer sessions conducted virtually each week by Vermont Fish & Wildlife staff.
Each pre-recorded video focuses on one Vermont wild animal and covers topics such as habitat, lifecycle and fun natural history facts! After the video, students venture outside with their educator and look for the appropriate habitat of the animal that was discussed, paying close attention to any scat and tracks or other signs of the critter.
