March 17-23
National Wildlife Federation (NWF) will be showing kids the importance of water to all living things during the 76th annual National Wildlife Week, March 17-23. National Wildlife Week gives families, educators and community groups the chance to connect kids with wildlife and explore the world around them. With a theme of “Wildlife and Water: From the Mountains to the Rivers to the Oceans,” NWF will help children and adults celebrate and explore the important role that water plays in the lives of wildlife and people across the country. Marine mammals, birds, plants, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates that help us to assess water quality will be among the species featured. The vital connection between water and wildlife will be highlighted in lesson plans, activities and water-and-wildlife related events such as fishing events, stream-side hikes, river and beach clean-ups and more.
