What is Flying WILD?

Flying WILD is an interdisciplinary and fun curriculum supplement designed to provide activities that teach middle-school students about birds, their migration, and what people can do to help birds and their habitats. The guide currently offered is a module including seven hands-on activities involving language arts, social science and art experiences, coupled with community outreach and service-learning applications. Targeted for the 5th-8th grade audience, though widely adaptable, Flying WILD: Birds Across the Curriculum offers practical hands-on classroom and outdoor field investigation experiences connecting real-world experiences in bird biology, conservation, and natural history.
